Kuler Recipe (Bajra Ladoo)
Kuler Recipe – These Bajra Ladoo are crafted in the Gujarati style, presenting an effortless, no-cook dessert prepared with just three ingredients.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Bajra flour (Millet flour) *see notes
- ⅓ cup Jaggery (Gur) powdered or grated
- 4-5 tablespoons Ghee (Clarified butter) melted and warm
Instructions
- Take bajra flour and jaggery in a bowl. Rub it with your fingers to break jaggery lumps and mix really well. It will take good 5-7 minutes. Be patients and make sure to rub really well, so there are no pieces of jaggery. If using powdered jaggery then skip this step.
- Melt the ghee in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Ghee should be warm to touch (not hot). Add into flour-jaggery mixture.
- Again, mix well with your fingertips. If it looks dry then add ½ tablespoons of ghee at a time, mix and see.
- Continue ‘add ghee and mix process’ till all the mixture comes together. By looking at it, it looks crumbly. But when you press with your hand it will come together.
- Now take some mixture in your hand, press it with your palm so it becomes firm and then shape into the ladoo by rotating it in your palm. Make walnut-sized balls out of it.
Notes
Bajra flour: Also, known as pearl millet flour. Try to use fresh flour since we are not cooking it.
- If you are in India, you will easily get freshly ground millet flour from nearby local flour mill shops.
- If you are living abroad then I doubt that you will get really fresh flour. In that case, dry roast the flour for few minutes on medium-low heat and then use. Otherwise, kuler will taste slightly bitter.
- The quantity of ghee required purely depends on the quality and freshness of the flour.
- The ghee has to be warm only (not hot).
- There should not be any big pieces of jaggery in the mixture otherwise you’ll get uneven sweetness.
- Storage: Kuler stays fresh for 4-5 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
