Mothichur Ladoo |

Mothichur laddo is very different than the regular boondi ladoo. There is also a difference in color and texture. Mothichur ladoo is yellow or orange in color and made out of little pearl boondi's with boondi jhaara(strainer). This is made on joyous occassions and festivals. I had tried the regular boondi ladoo many times. But this is the first time I tried this and suprisingly my first attempt was a success. Came out very delicious.
