Converting wheat flour into granular texture:-


In a shallow vessel put wheat flour and add four tablespoons of ghee and rub it with both hands.
Now with lukewarm water knead the flour like the consistency of puris.Now make 15 balls of the dough.Take a ball in your palm and close the palm like fist and you will get a shape with the impression of fingers .This is called muthias in Gujarati and khurma in marwari.Make about 15 khurma this way.Now deep fry these khurma in a frying pan.
When these khurma are cooled then grind them in a grinder to make fine powder.Put this powder in the same pan in which  muthiyas were fried and it has some remaining ghee in it .Roast it in that pan for five minutes .Switch off the flame.When this is cooled then add sugar powder ,pieces of dry fruits ,cardamom powder..Holding small amount of this mixture between both palms try to make a ball out of it.
This way all this mixture will make twenty laddus.If there is difficulty in making laddus then few teaspoons of ghee can be added to the mixture to make this process easy


Laddus can be stored for more than twenty days without refrigeration.
