Laddu

Besan Laddu is a classic Indian sweet renowned for its simplicity and delightful taste. This delicious confection has a simple recipe made from roasted chickpea flour (besan) with a dash of desi ghee and can easily be found at every sweet shop in India. These are flavoured with cardamom and garnished with nuts like slivers of almonds, pistachios, and melon seeds. Besan Laddu is considered to be the favourite of Lord Hanuman and offered to him as prasad. This is also a beloved sweet often prepared for festivals, celebrations, and special occasions

Gond laddu is a traditional Indian sweet delicacy renowned for its rich taste and potential health benefits. It is primarily made from edible gum resin (gond) roasted in generous amounts of desi ghee (clarified butter) mixed with sonth, dry fruits like dry coconut, almonds, cashews, pistachios, melon seeds and aromatic spices such as cardamom. Gond laddu is more than a sweet as it is beneficial to consume them in the winter. They are a rich source of calcium and fibre and are recommended as a postpartum food for new mothers to strengthen their bones.

Jodhpuri Laddu originates from Jodhpur in Rajasthan and is a renowned traditional sweet delicacy sold by almost every sweet shop in India. These laddus are made from gram flour (besan) and ghee, giving them a rich, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Beautiful infusion of aromatic cardamom and dry fruits like almonds and pistachios enhance their taste and appearance making people crave for them. Jodhpuri Laddus are also known as Boondi laddus and are considered the most auspicious sweet during festivals and special occasions.

Methi laddu is a unique Indian sweet that combines the distinct flavour of bitter but healthy fenugreek seeds (methi). Fenugreek seeds are roasted and mixed with jaggery and ghee to create a mixture. This mixture mixed with nuts helps in shaping laddus. Methi laddu also has potential health benefits like aiding in digestion, and controlling blood sugar and serves as a postpartum delicacy for lactating mothers. It is a sugar-free sweet offering a delightful blend of the sweetness of jaggery with a hint of bitterness from the fenugreek.

Doodh ke Laddu, also known as Milk Laddu, is a toothsome Indian sweet dessert. These laddus are made by simmering milk until it thickens and transforms into khoya (solidified milk). They are made more delicious by adding sugar, ghee (clarified butter), and aromatic spices like cardamom, and garnished with assorted dry fruits to make them more desirable. Doodh ke Laddu embodies the essence of Indian sweets, offering a rich, milky melting-in-your-mouth sweetness. These are often enjoyed during festivals and celebrations, making them a cherished indulgence
