What are you waiting for? make this homemade healthy sweet for your kids for this Diwali! I used my own measures from what I have learnt from making 3 types of ladoos(besan , moong dal and maa ladoo) this year adn this atta ladoo came out super good and that justifies the post here as well.

Atta Ladoo Ingredients
- Wheat flour – Use fine wheat flour. You can either use homemade or store bought flour.
- Sugar – Use granulated white sugar, powder and use it.
- Ghee – Use pure homemade ghee for best taste. However you can use store bought ghee too.
- Nuts – I have used cashews, almonds and pistachios.
- Cardamom powder – Cardamom powder is added for flavor.

How to make Atta Ladoo Step by Step
1.Sieve wheat flour through a fine sieve. Then dry roast wheat flour well till color changes. Keep stirring continuously to avoid burning at the bottom. Take sugar in a dry mixer.

2.Grind sugar to a fine powder, set aside. Then grind the nuts to a coarse mixture. Set aside.

3.In a mixing bowl, take wheat flour, powdered sugar and cardamom powder. Whisk it well. Heat ghee for a minute and then add it slowly.

4.Mix well with the ladle. When its warm enough to handle with hands shape them into ladoos.

Cool down store in an airtight container and enjoy your guilt free ladoos!

Expert Tips
- I used homemade atta which is already sieved and stored. If using store bought flour, if you prefer you can sieve flour and powdered sugar together.
- You can even add chopped nuts instead of powdering. I powdered it just for mittus sake, as she is not comfortable biting the nuts in between.
- Cardamom flavor is best in this recipe so don’t skip it.
- Keeps well in room temperature for more than a weeks time.
- Always add ghee little by little mix it, then add again to avoid lumps. Adding ghee little by little also helps us to keep control of ghee. If you are able to shape them with little less ghee itself then that is fine too.
- You can also add chopped raisins along with powdered nuts.
Serving and Storage
Store in an airtight container in room temperature to retain freshness. This laddu keeps well for about a week in room temperature.

Hey, I made these laddos. They turned out yum and were gone in a day. Great recipe. Can we make Besan laddos in the same method? Thanks.

Hi Sharmi I have a doubt…
Instead of steaming the flour can it be roasted just like roasting the besan flour for making besan ladoo

Very healthy, looks yummy too. Can we use jaggery instead of sugar, if so, is it the same procedure as above.
Thanks Sharmi !
SHARMILEE J
You can try but am not sure of the outcome….becos if we add powdered jaggery as such make sure the jaggery is clean…else you can try with jaggery syrup(after filtering)
