- Take whole wheat flour in a big mixing bowl and add oil. Mix both very well. It will be a breadcrumb-like texture.
- Add warm water, a little at a time, to make a tight and stiff dough. No need to knead the dough, just add enough water to bind the flour. Rest this dough covered for 15 minutes.
- Once 15 minutes is over, divide the dough into 8 parts and shape the dough in cylinders muthiya (dumplings). You can give any shape but it should not be too thick.
- Now heat ghee/oil on low heat to fry the dumplings. Once it is hot, add muthiyas, a few at a time. Fry the muthia till they are nice light brown. It will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Always fry them on a low flame. Take it out on a plate lined with a paper towel. Fry all the remaining muthiyas the same way.
- Let them cool completely Then using hand first make small pieces. Now take them in a food processer or grinder and finely grind them. If any chunks remaining, then re-grind them. Keep it aside. In a pan, add jaggery and melt it over medium heat. (Note – we are heating jaggery just until it melts. Don’t cook it).
- Add melted jaggery in churma mixture and mix very well with a spoon or spatula. Now add cardamom powder and nutmeg powder. Keep it aside.
- Heat the ghee well in a small pan. Once the ghee is hot, add directly to the churma. You can see the honeycomb effect on churma. It will help to make softer and melt in mouth ladoo for a longer time. Mix everything all with a spatula or clean hands.
- Tip – You can add any dry fruits of your choice at this point. Either coarsely crush the nuts or finely chop them.Now take a couple of tablespoon mixtures and with your hand give a round shape to ladoo. You will be able to make 12 ladoos from the prepared mixture. You can use ladoo mold or modak mold to shape the ladoo.Take 2 tablespoon poppy seeds on a plate and roll all the ladoo. This step is completely optional. Enjoy with any meal, or as a snack or its own.
