It is often a common scene around temples: sweet shops selling offerings for deities have their beautifully crafted ladoo counters. No sweet shop in India can indeed ignore the charm of motichoor ladoo. Celebrations are incomplete without the presence, offering or exchange of motichoor ke ladoo. Many people enjoy the soft ladoos with khasta or methi mathri. The confluence of sweet and savoury flavours is to die for. Notably, the word ‘moti’ means pearls and ‘choor’ means to crush. Hence, the word ‘motichoor’ will typically mean crumbled pearls which you will learn is a step required in the recipe. Have a look!
