Ingredients for Gor Churma Ladoo

Churma Ladwa requires few ingredients and easily available in the market. Flours – we have used wholewheat, semolina and gram flour. If you can find coarse wheat flour then don’t need to use semolina. In Gujarat coarse wheat flour known as Bhakhri No Lot. Use wheat flour to make Aate Ka Halwa with Mawa Ghee – desi homemade ghee is the best, vegans can use vegetable ghee or butter however the taste won’t be the same Jaggery – we have used desi organic jaggery thus it is dark in colour. Easily available in the markets known as Gor or Gud Oil – any flavourless oil is good for frying. If you want you can use ghee too Spices – cardamom and nutmeg powder not only add flavours, aroma but helps in to digest the ladoos too Sugar candy is known as khadi sakar or mishri – optional White poppy seeds are known as khus khus to coat the ladoo in. It is optional.
