RAVA LADOO


Laddu or Laddoo is a ball-shaped sweet popular in Indian Subcontinent. Laddu is made of flour and sugar with other ingredients that vary by recipe. It is often served at festive or religious occasions.  Tried my hand at making these and I have not regretted.  Took them to office for Diwali and surprised my friends, who kept asking for more.
