Churma Ladoo Recipe

Churma Ladoo is the most wholesome and delicious ladoos you could make at home, which gives instant energy to kids. Churma Ladoo is an Indian sweet or dessert recipe that is famous in both Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is usually served with Dal Baati or Dal Muthiya in Rajasthan. Churma laddus is a delicious sweet especially served in the form of prasad on various auspicious occasions. Ganesh Chaturthi is incomplete without Lord Ganesh's favorite Churma Laddus.

The Churma Ladoo also makes an excellent snack for adults and school-going children giving instant energy. Although this recipe among the many sweets, takes time and patience to make, the end result is delectable and makes all the efforts worth it. So prepare yourself and make sure you have ample time in your hands before beginning the sweet-making process.

In my home, churma ladoos are a must on special occasions. Also during the marriage, the festival we have churma ladoo. Although these ladoos are originally from Gujarat or Rajasthan nowadays they are made almost everywhere. In Gujarat, they are called "Churma na Ladva". In Hindi they are called "Churma ke Laddu".

I feel these laddus goes well with any "Indian main course meal. However, there are certain curries that I like most served with churma laddo.
