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 atta ladoo 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.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.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.

Please let me know if atta is cake flour or self raising flour.
Thank you.
Gaurav says
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.
