Ganesha is here!
It is Ganesh Chaturthi tomorrow. Senior citizen Rajini Prabhu shares a recipe of Churmundo or atta laddoos, a must-have in her home on this special occasion.
Ingredients
Atta (wheat) – 6 cups
Sugar- 3 and half cups (powdered)
Upma rawa or fine semolina (sooji) -1 cup
Ghee– 1 and half cup
Cardamom and raisins – according to taste
Method
Heat ghee in a pan and fry the semolina until it is a little red in colour. Mix in the atta and keep stirring on a low flame. You should keep stirring until the raw smell of the atta disappears. It would take about half an hour.
Take off heat. Now add the powdered sugar and cardamom while still hot and mix. Press the mixture down in the pan firmly and set aside for at least two hours.
After two hours, roll into laddoos and decorate each with raisins.
Churmundo or atta laddoos keep for a month without spoiling.
Rajini Prabhu, 66, is a homemaker. She lives in South Bangalore with her daughter, son-in-law and grand-daughter.

Yummy laddoos! I have tasted these tasty laddoos made by Rajani...please note the lovely and uniform round shape of the laddoos....they need a lot of care and perserverance while binding them. Thank you Rajani! Asha Philar.
