Before you follow this recipe the before hand preparation needed:

STEP 1 – Wash the wheat grains with running water for 2-3 times.

STEP 2 – Then keep this in a colander and drain the excess water from it.

STEP 3 – Now put it on a cotton cloth, add some salt in it. Close the ends of the cloth and keep it for 2-3 hours.

STEP 4 – Now just before grinding it, open it and make it dry in shadow only for ½ an hour. [ this is mostly needed in rainy seasons, otherwise water get dried when we keep it in cloth.]

STEP 5 – Let it be grinded very fine in grinding mill. You specially mention it to the girniwala.

STEP 6 – Strain it with very fine sieve and then ready to use.

NOTE: This flour have only 8 -10 days shelf life, so be careful.

          If you want to store it for longer then just roast it well and keep it in refrigerator. It will good remain for a month in refrigerator.

         As this is my Aai’s authentic recipe do follow the steps properly.

NOTES: Take care the flour should not be burnt. So better roast them on low-medium heat. Keep stirring occasionally.

             Roast the flour well else laddoos will have a raw smell.

           If powdered sugar is not available ready then make it while roasting the flour. Add cardamom seeds to it while grinding.

          The quantity of clarified butter may vary. Just check the mixture and if needed add more.
