Instructions
Heat a kadai. Add wheat flour and roast on low flame till aroma gets released from wheat flour and colour turns brownish.
Now add ghee and mix well. Add ghee little at a time as the wheat flour should not be too sticky nor too dry. Add more ghee if desired. Switch off the gas.

Immediately start making small ladoos using both hands.
Notes
The ladoos should be made when the ghee and wheat flour mixture is still hot or warm. Once it cools down, it will be difficult to make the ladoo shapes.
