Atta ke laddoo or Atta laddoo is a rich and tasty recipe.This is also called Pinni in North India.
My earliest memory of Pinni
It only reminds me of childhood,my mum and grandmum. Each family has its own version.Some people like it just plain,while others make it loads of dry fruits.Some may even add gond or digestive gum to it.Others may add jaggery instead of sugar.It is simple and simply melts into mouth.It is kid friendly and also beneficial for expecting women.My grandma would make this for us when we were kids.It is as good as having a roti.Full of proteins and carbs.You could eat one and be full till lunch time.I love making them for my family too.When we were kids,grandma would make it before we came to her place and also make a big box of them when we would go back after vacation.Food is a great way of preserving your memories.
Now as a mum,I make it for my family.You can also make it for travel as it stays good for a long time.
