There isn't much of a recipe here. The rotis are to be made crisp so that it can be powdered. The roti powder is mixed in melted jaggery and cooked till it gets together. Its then shaped into balls while warm. The measurements are approximate and take it as cue. You can add some roasted cashews or raisins or some roasted coconut too. Next time, I wanted to try it with dates in place of jaggery.
- Roti - 4 nos, preferably a day old
- Jaggery powdered - 2 tablespoons
- Ghee -1 teaspoon
Method
Heat a tawa. Roat the roti one by one till it is crisp. Alternatively, you can MW it for a minute and give another minute of standing time. It will turn crisp, like papad. Break the crisp rotis into pieces and pulse in the mixer grinder to powder. The consistency of the powder is up to you. If you want you can powder it fine or coarsely, as I did.
Heat a kadai.Add a teaspoon of ghee. When ghee is hot, add the powdered jaggery. When the jaggery melts and starts bubbling, tip the roti powder. Mix so that it comes together. Remove from fire. When it is warm, shape into lemon sized balls. If it doesn't hold, add few drops of milk.
You can serve this as after school snack for kids.

amazing- showed it to my hubby and he said "try it!". Very original!
ReplyDeleteGood way to re-use the kadak rotis..Thylam..Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWe make it in a slightly different way.
Once powder is made of leftover roties in the same mixer jar with roti powder add powdered jaggery & ghee and grind again.
The mixture is ready to make ladoos.

Never knew one could make Laddoos out of chapathi..wonderful!!
ReplyDeletenice innovative idea dear..
ReplyDeleteThis sounds excellent. Have seen people make laddoos with puris but never with chappathis! The few leftover chappathis I have from dinner are always my daughter's breakfast the next morning as she loves them. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this.It looks delicious.I hope you won't mind,I'd love to guide Foodista readers to this post.Just add the jaggery widget to the end of this post and it's all set, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice idea. Leftover rotis in my home are usually turned into a sort-of upma for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI simply make a roll roti:). But I like this laddoo. My mother would make this for us when we were kids.
