Amma's aata-ghee laddoo, step by step
Amma's Kitchen
This is the first laddoo Amma ever taught us. It needs only four ingredients and a little patience.
You'll need
2 cups whole wheat aata
¾ cup desi ghee
1 cup grated jaggery
A pinch of elaichi powder
Method
Warm the ghee in a heavy kadhai and add the aata.
Roast on low heat, stirring all the time, until it smells nutty and turns golden. This takes a while: don't rush it.
Turn off the heat, let it cool for a few minutes, then mix in the jaggery and elaichi.
While still warm, press small portions into round laddoos.
जैसा अन्न, वैसा मन“Jaisa ann, waisa mann.”Amma
Short on time? Ours are made exactly this way.
