About Wheat Ladoo

There are some recipes that you learn while growing up and some later in life. Though, this Atta Ladoo recipe falls in the latter category, it has grown on me like none other. I can easily say that this Atta Laddu is one of my most preferred ones now.

I learnt to make Atta Ke Laddu from my mother-in-law. This sweet is primarily a Punjabi/North Indian specialty. Thus, is a winter favorite. Going by the same trend, my mother-in-law would also make 1 to 2 kgs of these yummy ladoo for the whole family.  

During the numbing chilly months in North India, the heat from shaping the hot ladoo mixture, used to be warming and comforting to the hands. Hence, it was a yearly ritual in the very Punjabi household, every winter season.
