Traditionally this sweet comes from India. Many people love to make Besan Ladoo on festivals like Diwali, Dasera, Marriage Ceremonies and so on…. I have loved this Ladoo since I was a child. My mother always made this mouth Melting Ladoo on festivals in a large quantity and kept all these Ladoo in a steel dabba. I have changed my mother’s recipe slightly by adding ingredients such as dink and godambi.
