About sattu ladoo
Sweet is everyone’s first choice, whether it’s a homemade halwa or any sweet brought from the market. So, in this context, today I want to share the recipe for Sattu ke Laddus, which are made for Kajli Teej. These Sattu ke Laddus are special for Teej and are especially consumed by women observing the fast on Teej day. After this, the fast is completed by offering water to the moon. Talking about the Kajli Teej fast, on this day, women fast for the long life of their husbands. Married women and unmarried girls celebrate this day with great enthusiasm. On this day, along with making Sattu ke Laddus, various types of dishes are prepared in every household.
At night, all the women listen to the story (katha) and offer prayers to the moon to break their fast. In India, Teej festivals hold great significance in every region. And these Teej festivals reflect the unity in the diversity of India. The Sattu ke Laddus made on Teej are prepared from chickpea flour (chana daal) and rice. Making them is very simple, and they are extremely tasty to eat. Anyone, from children to adults, can make them. I really like Sattu ke Laddus made from chickpea flour. The laddus become quite heavy due to the ghee, but they are also nutritious, so without any hesitation, they can be given to other family members or children to eat.
Sattu made from chickpea flour, along with flour and rice, also tastes very good. To make wheat flour sattu, the wheat flour needs to be roasted well, but this step can be skipped because roasted flour is easily available in the market. This makes it much easier to make the laddus. For these sattu laddus, I have used gond (edible gum). Instead of using it directly, it is first fried in ghee to make gond phool (puffed gond). After that, it is added to the laddus and bound together. If we call these sattu laddus “besan ke laddus,” it wouldn’t be wrong because the method of making besan laddus is very similar to this.
Sattu is made using roasted chickpea flour, which not only tastes great but is also used in many other dishes, such as sherbat (a cooling drink) and paratha. During the summer, it not only provides a cooling effect to the body but also replenishes various nutrients. So, let’s get started with making the laddus.
