Ingredients

-Mahua flowers (dried or fresh) – 1 cup
-Wheat flour – 1/2 cup
-Jaggery (grated) – 3/4 cup (adjust to taste)
-Ghee – 3-4 tablespoons
-Cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon
-Nuts (cashew, almond pieces) – optional, 2 tablespoons

Directions

- If using dried mahua, soak them in water for a few hours to soften, then drain well. If fresh, clean and chop lightly if needed.

- Heat a little ghee in a pan, add the mahua flowers, and sauté lightly until their moisture reduces and aroma releases.

- In another pan, roast the wheat flour on low flame with some ghee until it turns light golden and aromatic.

- Combine sauted mahua, roasted wheat flour, jaggery, and cardamom powder.
Add fried nuts if using.

- While the mixture is still warm (but cool enough to handle), shape it into small round balls (laddus). Apply a little ghee to your palms if needed to help in shaping.

- Allow them to cool fully, then store in an airtight container.

Comments

Mahua is valued for its nutritional benefits, offering natural sugars, essential minerals, and medicinal properties.
These laddus hold a special place in tribal communities, often enjoyed during festivals and harvest celebrations.
