Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup dried nuts of your choice almonds/walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup ghee
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy-bottomed pan set over the lowest flame, add the wheat flour. Stir continuously to roast the flour until it turns a golden brown color and releases a nutty aroma. Add 2 tbsp of ghee every 5 minutes or so during the roasting process until the mixture becomes crumbly. This may take around 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to burn the flour.
  • Roast the nuts separately in the pan, then allow them to cool down. Grind the nuts into a powder and add them to the wheat flour.
  • Sprinkle the cardamom powder into the mixture and stir well.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool down slightly; it should still be warm to the touch.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the warm flour and nut mixture. Mix well until the sugar is completely incorporated. The warmth will help the sugar to melt slightly, which helps in binding the mixture.
  • Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, take small portions and shape them into ladoos with your hands. Press firmly to form a round shape. If the mixture feels dry, you can add a little more ghee to aid in binding the ladoos.
  • Allow the ladoos to cool down completely before storing them in an airtight container.
  • Enjoy your delicious Wheat Flour Ladoos! They are perfect for festive occasions or as a sweet treat at any time.
