Ingredients

1 cup Prolicious Vrat Upwaas Atta
½ cup desiccated coconut
¼ cup milk powder
¾ cup milk
1–2 tablespoons dried butterfly pea flowers
¼ cup powdered sugar, or adjust to taste
½ teaspoon cardamom powder
1–2 tablespoons ghee

How to Make Royal Blue Vrat Atta Laddoo

Step 1: Infuse the Milk

Warm the milk gently. Add the butterfly pea flowers and let them soak in the warm milk for a few minutes.

As the flowers steep, the milk will gradually take on a beautiful blue colour.

Remove the flowers and keep the blue-coloured milk aside.

In a pan, add:

Desiccated coconut

Prolicious Vrat Upwaas Atta

Milk powder

Mix everything well so that the ingredients are evenly combined.

Make sure to keep the heat low and stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning.

Step 2: Add Sugar, Ghee and Cardamom

Add powdered sugar,ghee,nuts and cardamom powder.

Mix well until the sugar combines evenly with the mixture.

Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

Step 3: Shape the Laddoos

Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it is comfortable to handle.

Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a smooth laddoo.

Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Garnish with a few butterfly pea flowers or desiccated coconut if desired.

Your Royal Blue Vrat Atta Laddoos are ready to serve!

How to Naturally Colour the Laddoos Blue

Butterfly pea flower is the key ingredient that gives these laddoos their beautiful blue shade.

For the best colour:

Use dried butterfly pea flowers.
Soak them in warm milk rather than boiling milk.
Allow the flowers to steep until the milk develops a deep blue colour.
Remove the flowers before adding the milk to the laddoo mixture.
Add the infused milk gradually so you can control the colour and consistency.

This gives the laddoos a festive blue appearance while keeping the ingredient list simple.

Why Use Prolicious Vrat Upwaas Atta?

Traditional fasting recipes often rely heavily on ingredients such as potatoes, sabudana and other starch-rich foods.

Prolicious Vrat Upwaas Atta combines:

Little Millet

Little millet is a nutrient-rich millet that provides dietary fibre and carbohydrates, making it a useful ingredient for wholesome fasting recipes.

Buckwheat

Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free and provides plant-based protein along with important minerals.

Low-Fat Peanut Flour

Peanut flour contributes plant-based protein and gives the flour blend a naturally nutty taste.

Together, these ingredients make Vrat Upwaas Atta a convenient base for creating more nourishing versions of traditional fasting favourites.

Tips for Making Perfect Laddoos

Roast the Vrat Atta mixture on low to medium heat for better flavour.
Do not over-roast the coconut, as it can change the taste and colour of the laddoos.
Add the blue milk gradually rather than all at once.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before shaping.
If the mixture feels dry, add a little warm milk.
If it feels too soft, cook it for another minute or two until it thickens.
Adjust the sugar according to your preference.
For a more festive presentation, garnish with desiccated coconut or butterfly pea flowers.

When to Enjoy These Laddoos During Navratri

These laddoos can be enjoyed as a festive sweet during your Navratri fasting routine, depending on the ingredients permitted in your personal fasting tradition.

They work well as:

A small festive sweet after a fasting meal
An evening snack with milk
A homemade offering during Navratri celebrations
A festive addition to your Navratri thali
A sweet treat to share with family and friends

Always follow your family's fasting practices, as permitted foods can vary across regions and traditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these Royal Blue Laddoos suitable for Navratri fasting?

These laddoos are made using ingredients commonly used during fasting, including Vrat Upwaas Atta, coconut, milk and ghee. However, fasting rules differ between households and regions, so follow the ingredients permitted in your fasting tradition.

How do I get a deeper blue colour naturally?

Allow the butterfly pea flowers to steep longer in warm milk to create a deeper blue infusion. You can also use a slightly higher quantity of flowers.

Can I use fresh coconut instead of desiccated coconut?

Yes, but the moisture content will be different. Desiccated coconut gives the laddoos a drier texture that is easier to shape.

Can I reduce the sugar?

Yes. You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar according to your taste preference.

Can I make these laddoos without milk powder?

Milk powder contributes to the creamy texture and flavour. If your fasting rules permit dairy but you do not have milk powder, the recipe may need adjustment to achieve the same consistency.

Festive food does not always need to be complicated.
