Atta Pinni/Ladoo: Indian Sweets

atta pinni

Atta pinni or ladoo are a specialty of Punjab.

I remember our parents and grandparents preparing these delicious delicacies during winters when we were young. We would relish this healthy sweet like anything. We love atta pinnis even today, but have made little alterations to the recipe to make it with less amount of ghee, which is a healthier option but isn't great for your heart.

This click of atta pinni was taken by my sis-in-law and this is her recipe.

2 tbsp- ghee (clarified butter)
1/2 cup- khoya or paneer
1 tbsp - rice flour or corn flour or maida
2 tbsp-sugar (as per taste)

Almonds or any other nuts
2 tbsp - milk

Process

Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking.
