In my Previous post I mentioned about Shravan/Saawan month and how auspicious month it is for Hindus.
This year we have five Somvaar(Mondays) in Shravan/Saawan Month. Mondays are considered special in this month as we pray to Lord Shiva in this Month,specially on Mondays, where people keep fast and worship Lord Shiva.
This week I am sharing a recepi of Churma Ladoo. This is a very traditional recepi and I have relished these Ladoos and are my favourite from childhood days. This recepi is my grandmaa’s recepi and after her followed by my Mother.
These ladoos are healthy and very tasty as they are made of Jaggery and with very less amount of ghee as compared to other sweets. You can also store them for a longer period and relish the taste of it . The best combo to relish with these Ladoos is Panchmel Dal. Do try this combo of Ladoo and Dal, you will certainly love it.So lets have a look at the recepi of these tasty ladoos.
