If you grew up having Laddoos or Unde for festivals or family events, then you will agree that they were the highlight of the evening. A dessert, a snack or a reward it was something we loved and waited for.
Beyond the taste, Ladoos also have a few health benefits. They are a great energy booster. Especially lactating mothers are often recommended Ladoos. All because they are full of Ayurvedic medicinal ingredients. Nuts such as pistachios and almonds are commonly used in Ladoos. There is a range of laddoos all over the country that combine taste and health all in one laddu.
I don't know about you but Semolina Laddoos were always one of my favourites. I always put off making them because of the tricky sugar syrup. But, fear not dear reader I have a simple no sugar syrup recipe that makes the most delicious ladoos.
The other delicious festive treats are Ragi Chakli, Besan Laddo, Chivda.

Growing up, 4 o’clock tea time was always about milk or chai and ladoos. So, Ladoos featured very largely in my life. Right from the Tirupati Laddoo, Alivache Ladoo, maledi to Chickpea flour ladoos, I had these ball with the flavours. In fact, Laddoos are extremely popular in the Indian sub-continent. these balls of sweet are what childhood was all about.
One of my fondest memories is gorging on laddoos on the train. Travel time meant a big steel container of undi. We were constantly hungry (what else was there to do?) so the container used to be quite big. We’d spend the entire ride laughing, eating and playing with the whole family! That steel container full of sweets was easily one of my happiest memories.
Make the MSK Rava Laddoo as they are
