Churma Ladoo Recipe (wheat flour ladoo with jaggery) – Convenient to serve and richer in flavor, here comes a tempting Indian sweet or dessert recipe from west of India. Churma ladoo is a delicious sweet especially served as prasad on various auspicious occasions. Churma Ladoo is the favorite sweet of Lord Ganesh and the Ganesh Chaturthi festival is incomplete without serving Churma Ladoos.
Churma ladoos are made by rolling “churma” a sweet whole wheat flour mixture into ladoos. In the state of Rajasthan, people make Churma by grinding wheat flour fried balls and mix it with desi ghee, jaggery or sugar. This churma mixture is then rolled into ladoo’s.
To make churma, traditional churma is sweetened with jaggery and enhanced with poppy seeds (khas khas), is shaped into ladoos that are easy to store and serve. In the state of Rajasthan and Gujarat people make Churma by grinding wheat flour fried balls and mix it with ghee and jaggery.
In order to get the best texture and flavor of ladoo’s, the tip is to use coarsely ground wheat flour, and when frying the balls of dough make sure you remove them from the oil when they are fully cooked from inside and golden brown in color. Do not let them over fry else the flavor will change.

Hello, perfect recipe… but i want to know what to do if y mistake we put excess jaggery in laddoo… any solution
Then make some extra churma and mix it and add some warm ghee and make ladoos.
Lovely Recipe!
Never tried adding besan to churma laddoos. Does it enhance flavor? Should we use fine besan or coarse besan?
Hi Nisha !! Thanks for stopping by. Regular fine besan will work and yes its enhances the flavor and adds more nutrition. Please do try and let us know. Thank you !!
