Tempting ladoos. Love to have it anytime..
This sounds terrific. I can't wait to try it.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. We used to live down the road from an Indian family who would make all sorts of delicious recipes. I was very good friends with their son, and was invited over for dinner or sent leftovers and treats from parties on a regular basis. It made me really appreciate the dishes from the culture, and I've often tried making them myself. I've never been able to make them as well as my friend's mum, and never expect to but it is lovely to at least get a taste of them again.
They look really good! 🙂
