Wheat Flour and Sesame Seeds Ladoo

Til aru Atar ladoo

There were some leftover jaggery and sesame seeds mixture when I was preparing Til Pitha . I was thinking of using this mixture in a way that my kids can enjoy eating. I tried this with  wheat four and rice flour in a little modified way and it came out a real good and healthy ladoo recipe. I want to share this.
