Churma Ladoo

Churma Ladoo

Churma Ladoo is a traditional recipe of Gujrat and Rajasthan. (These states are located in India) We require just three basic ingredients like whole wheat flour, jaggery and oil / ghee.  Churma is a whole wheat flour fried dumplings which is coarsely powdered and added with jaggery, ghee and made ladoos.  I'm happy to share an Airfried Churma Ladoo for Diwali. This is prepared for Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali as an offering to deity.
