Aanchal Gupta
Easy,10 minute recipe of choorma/churma laddoo made in a microwave. It's as easy as mix everything and microwave and delicious churma ladoo is ready! The traditional recipe is time consuming as it requires us to make a roti like dough, fry small pieces of the dough, cool and then powder them in a blender. The powdered churma is then mixed with sugar,nuts and ghee and formed into laddoos. This Instant recipe of churma/choorma laddoo eliminates the need to make a dough and to deep fry and then grind them.
Prep Time 2 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Servings 35 -40 laddoos

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour/Atta
  • 1 1/4 cup fine semolina/sooji/rava
  • 1/2 cup Laddoo Besan/Jada Besan/thick granular gramflour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup ghee/2 sticks unsalted butter coconut oil or any oil for a vegan option
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/8 tsp green cardamom powder/elaichi powder

For Binding and making laddoos

  • 4-6 tbsp COLD MILK
  • 2 tbsp ghee oil for a vegan option

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients except nuts in a microwave safe bowl
  • Once the ingredients are well mixed, place in microwave for 3 minutes
  • Remove from microwave, mix well and place again for 3 minutes(at this point you should get a nice fragrant smell)
  • Remove from microwave and mix well.
  • Place in microwave for 30 seconds, mix and microwave again at 30 seconds for a total of two minutes (From this point on be careful, as the mixture can burn, that's why its important to cook it at 30 second intervals)
  • Add nuts, mix well and microwave for an additional minute, pausing and mixing at 30 second intervals
  • If needed microwave for 30 seconds, mix and microwave for an additional 30 seconds
  • Microwaves vary, it can take a few minutes longer in some microwaves. For my microwave 9-10 minutes was plenty. Just proceed with caution and do in increments of 30 seconds to 1 minute as the mixture has enough ghee and can burn.
  • If serving as choorma/churma, its ready!

For Binding and making Laddoos

  • Let mixture cool for 5-7 minutes
  • Add ghee and cold milk so you can handle the mixture with your hands
  • Shape into laddoos

Notes

Loose churma/choorma can be stored at room temperature for 10-15 days. Since we use milk to cool the mixture and shape like laddoos, laddoos should be store in the fridge. Microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving the laddoos. They will taste like freshly made laddoos. Microwaves vary-my microwave has a wattage of 1200 watts.If you have lower wattage microwave, you may have to cook longer and may be able to increase cooking times to 1 minute intervals towards the end.
