SUGAR FREE AATA LADOO (Wheat flour and jaggery balls)

Atta ladoo are quick to prepare and these are healthier then the usual ones as sugar is replaced with Jaggery.

Jaggery is a good substitute to refined sugar and whenever possible I try to replace sugar with jaggery. Also, my family loves the flavor of jaggery. These are basically 3 ingredients - atta , ghee and jaggery , but trust me the most amazing and guilt free sweet you can snack on for your craving post every meal as we say "KUCH MEETHA CHAHIYE ".

Recipe:
(Makes 8 lemon sized ladoo)
Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup aata (Wheat flour )
• 1/2 cup jaggery powder
• 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter ) plus 1 tbsp
• 1 tbsp chopped almonds
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• 1 tsp white til/ sesame seeds
• 1 tsp khuskhus / poppy seeds.

Method:

• Take a Pan or Kadhai and add 1/4 cup ghee , add chopped almonds and roast for a min and take them out on a plate.
• Now add atta in the same leftover ghee and keep roasting it nicely on medium flame (approx for 8-10 good minutes) till the time atta turns into good golden color.
• Once done switch off the flame and let the mixture cool for a 5-7 mins.
• Add jaggery powder of same quantity as you have taken atta along with roasted almonds , cardamom powder , khuskhus and white til.
• Mix well for 2min till you see that jaggery is completely combined with atta .
• Let it cool , but dont allow it to cool down completely and start shaping it into lemon sized balls, apply a little amount of ghee onto your palms as it helps binding the mixture with hands.
• The mixture will be still warm , be careful not to press too tight while making balls, also if you feel it is difficult to bind the ladoos - add a tbsp of ghee and shape it. 
• Make all the ladoo and store them in a airtight container , they stay fresh for 4-5 days .
