Aate Ki Pinni recipe (aata ladoo)

1. First, add 1/4 cup edible gum to 1/4 cup ghee in a pan (gond).
2. Once the gond puffs up and turns crystal, roast over a low flame.
3. Turn off the heat when the gond reaches a golden brown colour and let it cool. The edible gum should then be ground into a coarse powder in a grinder.
4. Grind the dry fruits after removing them and placing them in a basin. Crush the almonds, pistachios, and cashews in a grinder jar.
5. Then, using the same pan, add extra ghee to it. Ghee should be heated before wheat flour is added.
6. Reduce the heat, then toast the wheat flour until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
7. Keep continuously stirring the wheat flour to avoid over-cooking.
8. Add powdered gond, crushed almonds, pistachio, cashew, and melon seeds to the well-roasted atta.
9. The well-roasted atta should be combined with the gond powder, crushed almonds, pistachio, cashew, and melon seeds.
10. All the ingredients should be thoroughly combined before cooling.
11. Add castor sugar to the mixture once it has cooled just a bit. After thoroughly combining them, split out small amounts and roll each one into a ball form.
12. Finally, when kept in an airtight container, aate ki pinni can be enjoyed for a month

Tips and Variations

Suji can also be added in addition to wheat flour to create a gritty texture.

To make ladoo nutritious and healthy, add a variety of dry fruits.

After the flour mixture has cooled, add the sugar. If you add sugar after the mixture has warmed up, the laddoo won’t hold its shape and will crack easily.

The wheat flour shouldn’t be overroasted since otherwise it would burn and taste unpleasant.
