Rajasthani Churma Laddu
Equipment
- The teacup which I used to measure ingredients is of 200 ml.
Ingredients
- 1 teacup Aata (wheat flour)
- 1 teacup besan (gram flour)
- ½ teacup suji (semolina)
- ½ teacup milk.
- ¼ teacup desi ghee (clarified butter) for shorterning
- 1 teacup desi ghee (clarified butter) for frying
- ¾
teacup bura (finely grained sugar) - 8 to 10 Chopped badam (almond)
- 8 to 10 Chopped kaju (cashewnut)
- 8 to 10 Chopped pista (pistachios)
- 1 tbsp gond (edible gum)
- ½
tsp cardamom powder. - 150 gm Home made Khoya.
Instructions
Preparation
- Fry gond and keep it aside. When it cools, crush it.
- Roast homemade khoya until light brown in colour.
Method
- Take aata, besan and suji in a plate.
- Add ¼ teacup desi ghee for shortening (moien) in it and mix it properly.
- Now with the warm milk, knead the flour into a stiff dough, apply ghee, cover and keep aside to rest for 15 minutes.
- Now divide the dough into eight equal portions and press them into the shape of the fist (muthiya) or roll and shape it like a ball and flatten it.
- Heat 1 teacup desi ghee in a heavy bottom kadhai (wok), at a time fry 3 to 4 muthiya in medium hot ghee until golden in colour, (keep flame low to medium.)
- Take out muthiya and let it cool.
- Crumble all the muthiya and grind it into powder.
- Now sieve the churma mixture through a big hole strainer and separate thick granules and grind it again.
- At this stage, the colour of the churma mixture would be very light so roast it again for a few minutes.
- Roast churma mixture in 4 tbsp desi ghee until colour changes to golden and a very nice aroma is obtained, switch off the flame.
- When still slightly warm, mix churma with roasted khoya.
- Add fried and crushed gond, chopped dry fruits, cardamom powder and bura; mix it properly. The mixture is ready to make laddus.
- To check the perfect consistency of the mixture, make one small laddu and if it binds together; the mixture is ready to make laddu. If you find some difficulty in shaping laddus add some more desi ghee.
- Now take sufficient portion of mixture and make laddu by pressing it with your palms.
- Delicious and yummy churma laddus are ready.
Notes
- Rajasthani churma laddu is served with panchmel dal and baati
