If we go back deep into our roots of eating habits, we will be quite surprised at the science that existed behind these practices. Winter calls for eating foods that are rich in calories and fats. 

The logic behind this is that the body requires fats and calories to stay warm. Our skin also needs these to keep it moist. We can also call these hibernating foods. And then there s the concept of eating foods that keep our body warm and that s where we have the habits of indulging in Jaggery, ghee and such.

Sattu Ke Ladoo

And that is exactly why these Sattu Ke Ladoo check all boxes and become the perfect winter snack. We call this the power Ladoos in our houses. They are the perfect healthyish dessert after a heavenly meal of roti, Dal and sabzi.

What is Sattu?

Sattu is made by grinding roasted chickpeas( roasted channa) into a flour. This is a staple food in states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkand. And this nutrient dense flour is also used to make Parathas.

Where to buy Sattu flour?

You can buy Sattu in all supermarkets in India. 

Sattu flour in Singapore- You can buy Sattu flour in Indian grocery stores like Sri Murugan in Singapore. This is also available in Mustafa.

Sattu Ladoo With Jaggery

Like I mentioned before, this is an ideal winter recipe. We enjoy these Ladoos with jaggery instead of regular white sugar. You can easily substitute Jaggery with regular white sugar too. Please use powdered sugar in place of the Jaggery mentioned here.

How To Make Sattu Ladoo Step By Step?

Step 1- Roasting the Cashews and Sattu

Heat a heavy bottomed pan. Add 1 teaspoon ghee. Add cashews and roast until golden. Drain and set aside.

Now add the Sattu and roast it on low flame till aromatic and very light brown. This process takes 6 to 8 mins.

Make sure you keep stirring the flour every now and then. And do not leave the flour unattended while roasting.

Step 2- Making the Ladoos

Add the roasted cashews, roasted flour and powdered jaggery in a mixing bowl. Mix well using your fingers.

Heat a pan with ghee. When the ghee is hot, add the crushed cardamoms and fry these till they become puffy and fragrant. Now add the melted ghee to the flour mixture.

Combine all of it in such a way that the ghee is evenly incorporated into the flour mixture.

The mixture has to be warm for the Ladoos to hold shape. 

Now, scoop half a handful of the flour and try to shape into a ladoo by applying pressure and tightly pressing and rolling them. If the ladoos hold shape, then continue to shape ladoos with the remaining mixture.

If the ladoos do not hold shape, then add 2 more tablespoon melted ghee and mix again. Proceed to shape ladoos.

And that s it! The Sattu ke ladoos are ready to be enjoyed.
