Follow these tips to tie laddu and enhance its taste
Do not knead the dough too soft.
To make churma laddu, the dough should be kept a little hard. With this, the balls will become nicely crisp after frying.
fry on low flame
Frying the balls on high flame can cause them to brown quickly from outside, while remaining raw from inside. Therefore fry them on low to medium flame.
Do not grind churma very finely
The real taste of laddus comes only in light coarse crumb. Therefore, do not grind it exactly as fine as flour.
add ghee little by little
If the laddus are not sticking then add some melted ghee to the mixture. Adding too much ghee at once can make the laddus too smooth.
use jaggery
If you want desi and traditional taste in laddus, then you can use jaggery instead of sugar. However, mix the jaggery thoroughly after melting it and filtering it.
