BESAN LADOO-
Besan laddo is an Indian traditional sweet which is not only delicious and aromatic but also have a melt in the mouth texture. As a child,I use to always demand my mom to make besan laddoo for me🤭

Since it's a slow process and time consuming i wouldn't wait to lay my hands on the finished dish.

By now you all are aware that I love styling home cooked meals and desserts in my own way.Big shopoholic for crockeries whenever I am travelling 🤭.

Lets have a quick look at Besan Ladoo recipe without Sugar which is super easy to make.
