Kuler is a bajra/bajri flour laddoo eaten during winter in Gujarat. It can also be called Bajra loat na laadva because that's what it is - a laddoo made from bajara flour. But it is called Kuler in my family.I wrote the following proportions as "measures" because you can decide the proportion based on the quantity. If you want to make it on a very small scale, like me , you can proceed with 1/4 cup bajra flour, 2 tbsp sugar & 1 tbsp ghee. This proportion will give you 2 laddoos as shown above!
As long as you maintain the proportion of 1 : 1/2 : 1/4 for bajara flour : sugar : ghee, you are okay.
Update - Sonu, a new friend shared that jaggery is used in this ladoo instead of sugar, in her family. Thanks, Sonu for sharing your family's version.

Friends:
Thanks for your sweet words.
Sonu:
Thanks for sharing that jaggery can be used as well. I will update the post with this information.
do we need to put hot ghee in it or just add normal ghee without heating?
Aditi:
Ghee is used only for rolling the ladoos and not roasting. so melted ghee will be better as it will be easier to form ladoos. Do not use the ghee kept in the fridge.
we can add grated coconut/sesame seeds/ground nuts in it. it gives great taste!
shubhi
