Atta badam ladoo or Wheat Almond laddu is a delicious Indian sweet made using wheat flour. It is also known as Khandeshi Daraba Ladoo in Maharashtra. Traditionally Daraba is a paste made from Wheat kernels which is de-husked and soaked in water. Then it is finely ground and the flour is roasted. I have directly used wheat flour to make these ladoos. This is also a healthy sweet as I have added roasted and powdered almonds to it. So, sharing a step-wise recipe. Read complete recipe and notes before you start making these delicious ladoos!

Atta badam ladoo
Ingredients
- Atta / Whole wheat flour - 1+1/2 cup
- Almonds - 1/2 cup
- Sugar - 1 cup
- Ghee / clarified butter - 1/2 cup + 3 tsp
- Green Cardamom - 3
Instructions
-
Heat 1 tsp of ghee in a pan and roast almonds on low flame for few minutes. Keep stirring. Remove from the flame and let it cool down completely.
-
Add it in your grind and blitz it to make a coarse powder.
-
Grind sugar and cardamom to make a fine powder.
-
Add 2 tsp ghee in a pan and roast wheat flour on low flame till it starts leaving a nice aroma. After 8-10 minutes you will see the color changing. Keep stirring or the flour will easily burn.
-
Add powdered sugar, powdered almonds and mix it well.
-
Add ghee in a small pan and mix the content with a spatula. Remove from the flame.
-
When its warm itself, start making small balls of the mix and keep it aside.
-
Once it completely cools down, store it in an air-tight container. You can store it for a month in a cool place.
Recipe Notes
- You can add 1-2 tbsp of more melted ghee if you feel the flour is too dry and you are not able to make balls.
- I have added only roasted almonds but you can also add roasted cashews and walnuts for a mix of nuts.
- ]If the mix cools down and you're not able to make ladoos, not to worry. Just place the pan again on low flame for a minute and mix well. Remove from the flame and start making ladoos again.

Hi..can I use jaggery instead of sugar?
Jaggery has impurities. So, you would have to melt in it water and strain it. I won’t suggest using it in this recipe.
I love atta badam ladoo, I have tried this recipe atta badam ladoo during the weekend. For this festive season, I got a dish Boondi ladoo tarts on Living Foodz. Take white chocolate and melts it in a boiler, Pour the molten chocolate in the tart moulds. Place the pies in the frame, drizzle white chocolate on ladoos, Halve the cherries and top the ladoos with one-half of the cherries and finally serve.
