Shredded Wheat Cereal Laddu (Unde)

Shreded Wheat Cereal is a healthy cereal and many opt for this cereal. My son brought me this cereal the other day. It was nice to have them with milk and sugar. Then I thought of preparing Laddu/Unde. It turned out to be superb laddu. So here is a recipe for you also to prepare this Laddu and enjoy any time of the day.
