Laddu is a popular Indian sweet made from various ingredients, primarily gram flour (besan), sugar, and ghee (clarified butter). It is often flavored with cardamom and can include nuts or dried fruits. Laddus are typically round in shape and are enjoyed during festivals, celebrations, and special occasions. There are many regional variations of laddu, such as motichoor laddu, made from tiny fried gram flour balls, and rava laddu, which uses semolina. These sweets are not only delicious but also hold cultural significance, symbolizing joy and prosperity in many Indian traditions.
