Atta Pinni/Ladoo: Indian Sweets

atta pinni
Atta pinni or ladoo are a specialty of Punjab.

I remember our parents and grandparents preparing these delicious delicacies during winters when we were young. We would relish this healthy sweet like anything. We love atta pinnis even today, but have made little alterations to the recipe to make it with less amount of ghee, which is a healthier option but isn't great for your heart.



This click of atta pinni was taken by my sis-in-law and this is her recipe.

1/2 cup- khoya or paneer
1 tbsp - rice flour or corn flour or maida

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

 How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Does millet need to be soaked? Yes, without soaking, you may not be able to derive benefits from millets. How much water do you need to soak millets?

Soaking is a safe food practice that helps remove chemical and non-chemical toxicants that are an environmental hazard even in organic f
