Churma Ladoo Recipe

5 from 1 vote
I have a sweet tooth so I love all sweet recipes, I am fond of Mithai's and laddus specially made at home with desi ghee. The first time I had Churma laddu was when I was in college and I visited my best friend's place for Ganesh festival, Her mom prepared these delicious desi ghee soaked laddus and the moment I took a bite it just melted in the mouth, and from that day I was the biggest fan of Churma Ladoo, It was shocking to know that these irresistibly delicious laddus are actually made of wheat flour. Then every year her mom made sure I get to relish them, she use to send me a dabba full of laddus during Ganesh Festival, these were the fond memories from my childhood which I will always relish.

Notes

Jaggery used should be good one, Please do not use Chikki Jaggery as its chewy and wont be able to bind together
Dry fruits can be added as per choice
You can even roll it over khas khas to give it a nice look
Ghee plays a major role in the taste hence ensure you use the right amount of ghee for making these laddus
You can store it in refrigerator for upto 7- 10 days
