Wheat Ladoo/ Kodhumai maavu laadu


Sweets are prepared on everyday basis at home.. recently I found so many of us cling to a dessert after a meal. This sweet can definitely satisfy such craving. you can make it and store it with all the goodness of wheat. One ladoo can make you feel heaven.. 

Wheat flour is a powder made from the grinding of wheat used for human consumption. More wheat flour is produced than any other flour. Wheat varieties are called "soft" or "weak" if gluten content is low, and are called "hard" or "strong" if they have high gluten content. Hard flour, or bread flour, is high in gluten, with 12% to 14% gluten content, its dough has elastic toughness that holds its shape well once baked. Soft flour is comparatively low in gluten and thus results in a loaf with a finer, crumbly texture. Soft flour is usually divided into cake flour, which is the lowest in gluten, and pastry flour, which has slightly more gluten than cake flour.

coming on to the recipe:






Ingredients:

  • Whea flour - 1 cup
  • Sugar powder - 3/4 cup
  • Ghee  - required to make ladoo
  • Cardamom powder - required
