How to make Atta Ladoo/Atta Sooji Ladoo/Atta Pinni
Fry the Gond
- Step 1
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the gond and fry, stirring continuously, until it puffs up and becomes crunchy. Remove and set aside.
Toast the Almonds
- Step 1
In the same pan, lightly roast the almonds for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Grind the Gond-Almond Mix
- Step 1
Once cooled, coarsely grind the puffed gond and roasted almonds together. Set aside.
Roast the Flours
- Step 1
In the same pan, add the whole wheat flour (atta) and semolina (sooji). Roast on low heat, stirring continuously for 25–30 minutes, until the mixture turns golden brown and emits a rich, nutty aroma. This slow roasting is key to the flavor.
Combine the Ingredients
- Step 1
Add the ground gond-almond mixture to the roasted flours, along with 2 more tablespoons of ghee. Mix thoroughly for 3–4 minutes so the flavors blend well.
- Step 2
Turn off the heat. While the mixture is still warm, stir in the milk powder and powdered sugar until everything is evenly combined.
Shape the Ladoos
- Step 1
Let the mixture cool just enough to handle. While still warm, take lemon-sized portions and shape them into round ladoos (pinnis). Place them on a plate and allow them to cool completely and firm up.
Store and Serve
- Step 1
Once cooled, transfer the ladoos to an airtight glass container. They stay fresh for 2-3 weeks. Enjoy them with a hot cup of tea or as a nourishing energy bite during the day.
