    Aate ke laddu or Atta laddoo is a rich and tasty recipe. This is also called pinni in North Indian homes. Aate ke laddu has been the first sweet I would enjoy on reaching my granny's place at Bhopal. The whole box of wheat laddu would be waiting for us kids to finish. How I wish I could revisit those days again! Simple recipes like Sindhi bhorat(kutti),mohanthal, mathri , namak pare , sooji halwa made childhood special.

    What is Indian ladoo made of?

    Laddu is an easy sweet however, getting the perfect shape comes with practice. It typically consists of sugar or palm sugar(jaggery) and ghee mixed with nuts, seeds or flour. Common recipes include churma laddu, motichoor ladoo, besan laddu, boondi ke laddu, rava laddu, sattu laddu which use flour like wholemeal flour, chickpea flour and semolina as a base. Other popular ones are dink laddu, til ladoo, murmura laddu , coconut laddu which are made with sesame seeds and puffed rice. Nowadays, even oats laddu ,methi ka ladoo and ragi laddu are very popular.

    My earliest memory of Pinni

    It only reminds me of childhood, my mum and grand mum.  It is simple and simply melts into mouth. My grandma made it for us when we were kids. Whole wheat ladoo is as good as having a roti. Full of proteins and carbs. This one more powerful with nuts. You could eat one and be full till lunch time. I love making them for my family too. 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.

    Ingredients

    • whole wheat flour
    • Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts) finely chopped and dry roasted
    • Ghee / clarified butter
    • Powdered sugar
    • Elaichi / cardamom powder
    • Dry dessicated coconut powder (not in picture below). I have powdered desiccated coconut
    ingredients- atta laddoo

        hi Shoba, All the 3 flours here are wheat based flour.
        Atta is wholemeal wheat flour.Cake flour is plain flour, it has less fiber content and is more fine than atta.
        Self raising flour is plain flour with addition of baking powder/soda.
        Hope this answers your question.
