Atta ladoo or gond ke ladoo are round or sphere shaped Indian sweets made with whole wheat flour (atta) and edible gum (gond) along with liberal use of ghee (clarified butter) and sugar.
To give extra crunch and enhance the nutrition, finely cut pieces of dry fruits like almonds (badam), cashew nuts (kaju), raisins (kishmish), green pistachios (pista) are added at the time of preparation.
Atte ke ladoo are a wholesome and nutritious food, with a good storage life and are invaluable when hunger strikes at odd hours. These ladoos can also be made during festivals.
This simple recipe for atta ladoo has remained popular since ages and is mainly prepared during winter seasons. Due to their rich contents these laddus give heat and energy to the body.
While ghee provides energy in winters, gond (edible gum resin) has a considerable medicinal value and is considered good for constipation, skin and improves immunity.
Gond ke ladoo are considered to be very nutritious. They are traditionally given to mothers after pregnancy as besides providing much needed energy, they are believed to have rejuvenating properties as well.
