About Laddu

Laddu is a popular spherical sweet originating from Indian cuisine, traditionally made from a variety of ingredients like gram flour (besan), semolina, or lentils, mixed with ghee, sugar, and sometimes flavored with cardamom, nuts, or dried fruits. This versatile treat often features regional variations, such as Motichur Laddu or Besan Laddu, each offering unique textures and flavors. Laddu is rich in energy, thanks to its dense calorie content from ghee and sugar, making it a festive indulgence. While it provides quick energy and nutrients from nuts and seeds in some recipes, its high sugar and fat content means it should be consumed in moderation. Often served during celebrations and religious occasions, Laddu is a symbol of joy and togetherness in many South Asian cultures.
