Magaja Ladoo | Wheat Flour Ladoo from Chhapan Bhog

Happy Makara Sankranti to all my reader here 🙂

Makar Sankranti is celebrated across the whole country in different ways as the cultural significance of the festival varies from one state to another state. Basically everyone celebrate this festival in the honor of welcoming the new season of harvest as from this day, winter days end and spring season starts. The days’ll become longer and warmer as well which signifies the Uttarayana period of Sun. This Indian festival ‘Makar Sankranti’ is also the first Hindu festival in a New Year.

For the celebration, I have come up with a ladoo recipe today as ‘Magaja Ladoo / Wheat Flour Ladoo‘ which is one of the famous Chhapana bhoga (56 offerings) of Lord Jagannath, Puri district of Odisha. Every day 56 food items as Mahaprasad are offered to daieties throughout the year in six particular times a day, starting from morning.

These ladoos are basically prepared using whole wheat flour, ghee and sugar. This is an authentic Odia dish which is made most of the time during festivities. The whole process is so simple and easy to follow as well. The main crucial factor here is the ratio of wheat flour to ghee should be 3:1. Also these ladoos break easily and after breaking even, one can thoroughly enjoy the flavor from the crumbs ;P. Some freshly crushed cardamoms and black peppers are added to give an aromatic flavor to the ladoos. Do prepare these ladoos soon and enjoy !

prep time: 10 minscook time: 10 minstotal time: 20 mins

ingredients:

• Wheat flour   2 cup
• Powdered sugar   1/2 cup – 1 tbsp
• Granulated sugar   1 tbsp

10. Similarly prepare ladoos from rest mixture.

NOTES:

The wheat flour and ghee ratio is the crucial factor here in this ladoo. The ratio must be 3:1 always.
Always prefer to use the freshly ground cardamom as well as black pepper powder instead of store bought ones to get much flavor in the ladoos.
Ladoos stay fresh at room temperature in an airtight container for a week easily.
