Laddu

Laddu (or ladoo) is a traditional Indian sweet ball made primarily from flour, sugar, and ghee. It often incorporates ingredients like lentils, coconut, nuts, and spices, depending on regional variations. The mixture is cooked until thick, then shaped into round spheres. Laddu is commonly enjoyed during festivals, celebrations, and religious occasions as a symbol of auspiciousness and sharing. Its rich, sweet flavor and soft texture make it a popular treat across India and among South Asian communities worldwide.
