aate ki pinni recipe | atta pinni recipe | aate ke ladoo | aate ka laddu with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and healthy laddu recipe made with wheat flour, gond, sugar and clarified butter. the dessert mainly hails from the north indian cuisine or particularly from the punjabi house but widely accepted in india. it can be made for any festival celebrations or occasions, but also as a snack or as a simple dessert after the meal.
i am not a huge fan of laddu recipes and i generally avoid having it as a part of the meal. i find it too filling and also too sweet as dessert. particularly the motichoor ladoo, besan ladoo or even the boondi laddu. having said that i have a special preference for the wheat-based sweets and desserts. and the aate ki pinni recipe or aate ka laddu is one such dessert recipe. in addition, the wheat pinni laddu consists of gond particles which makes it even tastier and also pleasant experience while consuming it. moreover, i personally like the combination of wheat and ghee which make any dessert flavorful. in other words, this recipe is very similar to the panjiri, but only in balls shape.
anyway, i would like to add some of the tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect aate ki pinni recipe. firstly, i have made these laddu’s using sugar for the sweetness. the same laddu’s can be made with powdered jaggery with the same quantity. adding jaggery would be healthy option but the laddu’s may have dark in colour. secondly, adding goond or edible gum is not mandatory and can be skipped if you do not have access to it. however, adding it not only improves the taste but also acts as an energy bar. lastly, you may have to store it in a dry and cool place for better shelf life. also, i would heavily recommend using fresh and aromatic ghee for better result.
