Who invented ladoo, Amma”? This was a common question we often asked as children when our mothers prepared ladoos during the festivals to offer to deities. She would usually poke a ladoo into our mouth as an answer to the question, which would make us momentarily silent and forget the curiosity until the next batch graced the diety’s plate.

Ladoos are a must in every Indian family, marking celebrations from festivals and family gatherings to weddings, and more rooted in tradition, the sweet start signifies a timeless belief to start something with abundance, positivity, and happiness.

In a pan, add jaggery and a small amount of water. Heat on low until the jaggery dissolves completely, forming a thick syrup & set it aside to cool.
