To prepare Rajasthani Churma laddu, incorporate *moin* (shortening)—in the form of ghee—into coarse wheat flour and knead it into a stiff dough. Form the dough into *muthiyas* (fist-shaped lumps) and fry them in ghee over a low flame until golden brown; then, let them cool and grind them. Finally, mix in powdered sugar (*boora*), cardamom powder, and dry fruits, and finish the preparation with a generous amount of *Desi* ghee.
**Required Ingredients:**
**Coarse Wheat Flour:** 2 cups (or 1.5 cups regular flour + 1/2 cup semolina/suji)
**Desi Ghee:** 1/2 to 3/4 cup (for *moin* and frying)
**Powdered Sugar (*Boora*/*Tagar*):** 1 cup (or to taste)
**Dry Fruits:** Almonds, cashews, pistachios, coconut (chopped)
**Cardamom Powder:** 1/2 teaspoon
**Warm Milk/Water:** For kneading the dough
**Method (Step-by-Step Instructions):**
**Kneading the Dough:** In a large mixing platter (*parat*), combine the flour with 3-4 tablespoons of ghee and mix thoroughly (this acts as the *moin*). Now, using lukewarm milk or water, knead the mixture into a stiff dough.
**Forming and Frying the *Muthiyas*:** Divide the dough into small portions and press each firmly within your fist to shape them into *muthiyas* (elongated lumps). Heat ghee or oil in a deep pan (*kadhai*) and fry the *muthiyas* over a low flame until they turn golden brown.
**Coarse Grinding:** Allow the fried *muthiyas* to cool down completely. Once cooled, break them into pieces and grind them coarsely in a blender or food processor.
**Mixing Ghee and Sugar:** Add the powdered sugar (*boora*), cardamom powder, and roasted dry fruits to this mixture. Pour a little extra warm ghee over the top and mix everything together thoroughly.
**Serving:** Your delicious Rajasthani Churma is ready. Serve it alongside *Dal-Bati* or roll it into *Laddoos* (sweet balls).
**Tips:**
For the best flavor, use only *Desi* ghee.
If you do not have a blender, the *muthiyas* can also be crushed manually (using a mortar and pestle or rolling pin) to prepare the Churma. You can also make this dish using jaggery instead of sugar.
