Churma ladoo (Churma na ladava)

Churma ladoo is traditional and popular sweet of Rajathan and Gujarat. It is very healthy and wholesome snack. We generally make churma ladoo on festival like Diwali and Ganesh Chaturthi.

This sweet takes time and patience to make but the end result is very delicious. There are two ways of making churma ladoo ,one is to fry wheat balls in Ghee /Oil and other is to back wheat bhakhari and then make ladoo out of that. On Ganesh Chaturthi ladoo generally made out of bhakhari. Traditionally  jaggery  is used in ladoo for sweetness but you can use powder sugar as well.
