Churma Ladoo is a special delicacy of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Churma Laddoo or Churma is served with dal batti thali & is also served as Prasad in many pujas , it is specially offered to lord  Ganesha during Ganesh Chaturthi. I make Churma modak from this Churma mixture with little changes.  In Maharashtra Churma Ladoo is made during ganesh festival. Churma Ladoo is never go wrong Ladoo recipe. It’s very simple and easy to make. In Marathi this ladoo are called as Kankeche Ladoo, in Hindi it is called as Churma ke Laddu , in Gujarati it is called as Churma na Ladawa and Rajasthani keeps it in the form of churma or make laddu of it .

I prefer to use coarsely ground wheat flour (gheu ka mota atta) to make Churma laddu, if it’s difficult for you to get coarsely ground wheat flour, use semolina (moti sooji/ rava) . Take 1 cup of sooji for 2 cup of whole wheat flour and make dough of it to make Churma Ladoo .

Many people make Churma Ladoo by making muthia with the dough and then deep fry it in ghee or oil. To fry the muthia takes lot of time and many times the dough inside the muthia remains raw(kaccha). I make puris with this Churma Ladoo dough and then deep fry it. By this method all the particles of dough get fried nicely and it’s easy to grind it in mixer. For muthia we have to pound it and then grind it in mixer, this process takes more effort and time.

If you want to make this Churma Ladoo low calorie you can roast this puris on girdle or tawa and then follow the same procedure of making Ladoo . You can also bake muthia made from Churma Ladoo dough, pound it, grind it and then follow the same procedure which I have explained. Churma Ladoo are high in calories as we add ghee in the end to the Churma to make Ladoo ,that’s why i make this ladoo during winters .

I make Churma Ladoo using jaggery or sugar. Shelf life of Churma Ladoo made from jaggery is less as compare to when its made from sugar. So if I want to make big batch of Churma Ladoo I prefer to use sugar to make this Ladoo. Churma Ladoo made from sugar can be store easily for around 14 – 15 days .
