Sweet treats and healthy is a rare combo! These melt in mouth Laddoos are simply delicious with the goodness of wholewheat and besan as well as jaggery instead of sugar. Perfect for a festive treat or for just any day!
So here it is, my version of WHEAT BESAN JAGGERY LADDOO:
Ingredients: 1 cup wholewheat flour, 1/4 cup besan flour, 1/2 cup pure ghee, 1/2 to 3/4 cup powdered jaggery/brown sugar depending on sweetness desired, 1 tsp elachi powder, 1 tbsp crushed Pistachio nuts.
Make:
1. In a non stick flat bottom pan, melt the ghee then add wholewheat flour and besan flour. Roast evenly on medium flame, by continuously stirring until there is a roasted aroma. Should take around 15 to 20 mins. The mixture will look lumpy and golden brown in colour. Remove from hear and let cool to room temperature.
2. To the mixture, add powdered jaggery and elachi and mix well. The mixture should hold shape in your hand enough to roll into Laddoos. If not, add just a teaspoon of warm milk to help shape.
3. Take small amounts of the mixture and roll into Laddoos. Let them cool completely and harden slightly before serving. Can be stored for a week or so.
Enjoy the healthy sweet treats anytime!
