Festivities and occasions in India are incomplete without Ladoo. This is a sweet dish that finds favor across the country. Whether Besan Ke Ladoo or Churme Ke Ladoo, they are loved by one and all. A Hindu god named Ganesha, likes Ladoo so much that on Ganesh Chaturthi, Ladoo is served to him as a Prasad. When I was a kid, I used to love eating Ladoo as well, but my favourite kind was Nariyal ke Ladoo! Every year on Ganesh Chaturthi, till date, my mom makes these and makes a jarful for me as well. Soft and subtly crunchy, Nariyal ke Ladoo are good to be made on festivals but can be even served along with regular meals for a sweet change!
