After my Besan Ladoos, Tilkut winter special ladoos post here I am with another winter special ladoo that I made today with Whole Wheat flour, Ragi/Finger Millet Flour, Edible Gum, Desi Ghee and Jaggery.

These are one of the most popular winter specials that are made in almost every home in Northern India during harsh winters. Atta Gond Ladoos as these are popularly known as have a special ingredient Gond or Edible gum that makes it suitable to have in winters to keep the body warm and strong.

I make these ladoos every winter and give it to kids with milk either in morning for breakfast or at evening as snack. I and hubby too have these for breakfast and he doesn't mind having these after dinner also, as he needs something sweet to finish off his meal.

Ingredients for Whole Wheat Ragi, Edible Gum Ladoo

Usually these ladoos are made with Whole Wheat flour, gond (edible gum), sugar/jaggery and lots of desi ghee.

Multigrain flours like Sorghum Flour/Jowar Flour or Chickpea Flour/Besan can also be added in place of only Whole Wheat Flour to increase the nutritive value.

This time I have added Ragi flour along with Whole Wheat flour. Also, I have added Ladoo Atta (a coarse Whole Wheat flour available in Indian Grocery stores here in US). You can use whole Wheat flour with barn /Chakki Atta or add 1/2 Cup semolina if you are using finely ground whole wheat flour.

Whole Wheat Ragi and Edible Gum Ladoos

Benefits of the ingredients in these nutritious Ladoo

The ingredients used in these ladoos are highly nutritious and good for the overall health, both for kids and grown ups.

  • Whole Wheat flour is high in fiber, vitamins and regulates the blood sugar level.
  • Ragi flour is a gluten-free flour. It is rich in fiber, proteins, antioxidant. Helps in weight loss and regulates cholesterol and blood sugar level.
  • Edible Gum or Gond is sourced from the sap of a variety of gum-producing plants . It is found in the Middle East and parts of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Punjab in India.
  • It widely used in food industry especially in bakery items, ice creams, beauty products and energy drinks.
  • Edible gum is also used for the treatment of various ailments in Ayurveda, given to lactating mothers. Used in treatment of lung related issues, weakness and fatigue. It increases body immunity and body heat that keeps the body warm in winters.
  • Desi Ghee is known to have it's own share of ayurvedic health benefits. It is used in Ayurveda for treatment of various ailments, body cleansing therapies. It is considered a sattvic food having a positive balancing effect on mind and body . Many may not know that it has very low amount of lactose or casein, can be safely consumed by those who have lactose intolerance. People with gluten allergies can also consume it safely.
  • Jaggery is a blood purifier, detoxes liver and boasts immunity and prevents constipation.

Since these ladoos are high in calorific values, one should have these in moderation(1-2) and especially those on restricted fat or fat-free diets or any special diets.

Substitute BAJRA FLOUR for Ragi Flour in Winters. As Ragi has cooling properties, use bajra flour instead in winter.

Let's see how I made these nutritious Whole Wheat, Ragi and Edible Gum ladoos..

      I will prefer to grate jaggery and then add in ladoos.. you can also adding it to boiling water, cook for just 5 mins till it thickens a bit and cool it and add to flour.. for that take 3/4 cup water and boil .. cool it and the use it for binding ladoos.. but I have not tried it my mom used to do ..I usually make it with jaggery powder or grated jaggery.. adding jaggery with boiled water is a bit tricky as sometimes ladoos get hard.. I will advice you grated then add . Hope this helps..

    Nothing beats the taste of home made ladoos Swaty, especially for me. You can always add healthy ingredients and turn them into a good evening snack for kids. Sugar is always controlled too when home made. Not to mention the taste is unbeatable. Loved the edible gum addition as gond is great during winters.

    Making edible gum ladoos during winter season has become a ritual for me now. We add skinned and split black gram flour to wheat flour in this Ladoo. Loved your version of adding ragi flour and the presentation is fantastic.
