Hello dear readers….Just like my 3 kids, even I’m bouncing out of happiness & gratitude, as today marks the 6th ANNIVERSARY OF MY FOOD BLOG! 🙂 🙂 🙂 

But this journey wouldn’t be half as meaningful without the unwavering support and enthusiasm from you, our cherished readers.

Your comments, shared experiences, and culinary triumphs have been the driving force behind every recipe I’ve crafted and every story I’ve told. Give me good wishes to post more good recipes & get more views!

Here’s to six years of culinary joy, and to the many more pages of our food story yet to be written. Cheers to you, dear readers, and to the continued celebration of all things delicious!

As I enter this sixth year with renewed zeal and creative fervour, sharing this recipe as sweet note. These delectable treats, also known as “jowar ladoo,” are a celebration of flavour and nutrition, offering a unique twist to the classic ladoo recipe.

Packed with essential nutrients and a distinctive nutty taste, sorghum flour which is derived from Sorghum grain, adds a wholesome touch to these sweet spheres, making them not only a delightful indulgence but also a nourishing treat.

My elder daughter doesn’t have a great liking for dal. Though she is interested in any salad/appetizer using Lentils.

So, I thought I should incorporate more of protein in her diet, hence here comes my attempt in making these Protein Rich Nutritious Jowar Flour Ladoo /  Sorghum Atta Laddu. Try it and see! 🙂 🙂

Prep Work:

Gather all the ingredients at one place. Using a spice blender / mixie powder the sugar / jaggery.

Cooking:

Put a suitable frying pan on the stove top over medium flame. Add ghee (1 tablespoon) and cashew nuts.

Stir fry until the nuts turn golden brown. Remove them onto a separate plate.

Put the pan back on stove over medium flame. Add the ghee (¼ cup) and the jowar flour / jonna pindi.

Keep stirring continuously for 10 mins, until the flour releases nice aroma.

Immediately switch the flame off, let it cool down completely.

Transfer the flour into a mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar and powdered elaichi powder. Mix everything well.

Into the same bowl, add ghee (2 tablespoons) and milk (⅛ to ¼ cup).

Give everything a thorough mix using your hands. Add the roasted cashew nuts to the same.

Apply a ghee to your palms. Take a small quantity of the mix and gently roll it into small balls as shown.

Repeat the same for the entire ladoo mix in the bowl. Done!

Tips & Storage:

• Adjust the sugar as per the sweetness you prefer.
• If you are using jaggery, you need to get it powdered just like the sugar.
• While roasting the flour, keep stirring it continuously so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom and burn.
• Storage: Put the ladoo in an air tight container and store the container in a cool, dry place at room temperature.

Result:

• These, Jonna Pindi Laddu / Jowar Flour Ladoos have a distinct taste, as the Jowar flour itself has a slightly nutty and earthy flavour.
• Ghee (clarified butter) is often used in the preparation of ladoos. The use of ghee imparts a rich and buttery flavour, elevating the overall taste and providing a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• Whether enjoyed during festivals, special occasions, or as a healthier sweet indulgence, jowar ladoo / sorghum atta laddu, is a celebration of flavours and textures.
