Multigrain And Gram Flour Laddu

by Hearty Food Talks
written by Hearty Food Talks

As the name suggests, these delectable Multigrain And Gram Flour Laddu are made from the coarse whole wheat flour, and a very wholesome Chana dal (Gram lentil) flour called ‘besan’. Its astounding flavor derives from the slow and proper roasting of flours. Flours should neither be under-roasted nor over-roasted.

Again, it takes some practice to roll the laddu from the roasted flour mixture. Place a scoop of mixture on your palm, firmly press it 2 to 3 times with your fist. Later roll it on your palm to give it a smooth and nice round shape.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Multigrain Flour
  • 1/4 cup Besan (Gram Flour)
  • 1/2 cup Ghee (Purified Butter)
  • 1/2 tsp. Cardamom
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup Organic Cane Sugar (or jaggery)
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup Cashews
  • 1/4 cup Almonds
  • A few Saffron Strands (optional)
