Besan Ladoo is a north Indian favourite. The best Besan Ladoo that I have had so far is the prasadam that is offered in Sankat Mochan Temple in Varanasi and ofcourse from my Mom’s kitchen. After her visit to Lucknow in 2014 Besan ladoo became my daughter’s favourite too. Although I make Besan Ladoos almost every month, 2 years later, Besan Ladoo remains my daughter’s favourite.

My mother used to make Besan Ladoos often. My sister lived in a hostel while she was doing her graduation. Every time my sister would come from hostel my mother would make Besan Ladoo for her. When she returned to hostel, her friends used to eagerly wait for the Ladoos. Later when I started working and living away from home, I also looked forward to Besan Laddoos when I got back home.

Hi, Thanks for visiting Kitchen Fables !!

I am a chartered accountant by profession and a passionate foodie. Born in a family of foodies I attribute it to my genes. I learnt cooking from my Mom and then later on, from my sister who are both excellent hosts and can cook for any number of guests.
