Churma Ladoo Recipe | Churma Laddu | Gujarati Churme Ke Laddu with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Laddu or barfi recipes are super popular during the festival seasons of India. However, there are some seasonal or purpose-based sweets recipes that are prepared for particular Indian festivals. One such popular ladoo sweet recipe is churma laddu recipe known for its flaky texture. It is mainly prepared for Ganapathi and Deepavali festivals and served with family members.
I have posted numerous wheat flour-based laddu recipes, but this has to be a unique and tasty laddu. It is mainly due to the way it is prepared and the goodness of ghee and dry fruits in it. Basically, the wheat flour is first deep fried in ghee which is later crumbled to get the flaky and crumbly texture. It is later mixed with jaggery syrup and hot ghee which is eventually shaped like balls. Deep frying and mixing with ghee and jaggery syrup make it a unique and tasty ladoo recipe. I personally like the crumbly texture with the sweetness of jaggery. Basically, you would feel the same taste of aate ka halwa served in Gurudwara. I make these ladoo’s frequently, particularly with leftover roti’s, but do try this sweet and I trust you would certainly love it.
Furthermore some more related and additional tips, suggestions and variants to the gujarati churme ke laddu. Firstly, in this recipe, I have used coarse wheat flour which is typically used for roti or tandoori bread. It basically helps to get the crumbly texture as compared to the fine wheat flour which is used for phulka and chapati. Secondly, the same laddu recipes can also be prepared with white sugar or icing sugar. However, I choose jaggery to have a healthy twist to it. Lastly, to make it even more flavorsome, you may add a sun-dried coconut grate on top of the dry fruits. Adding coconut helps to add more flavour, but may reduce the shelf life.
