  1. For this laddu, do you use regular sugar and put in grinder to powder it? Or use the powdered sugar you buy in the grocery store?

  3. dear aunty, i like this recipe. how long i can store this ladoo once prepared?

  5. What’s the difference between laddu and pinni?

    • More or less both are same. Pinni is a punjabi sweet made with wheat flour, besan and dry fruits. Whereas in South, any dhal flour mixed with sugar and shaped round is called Laddu.

  7. i tried wheat flour laddu

  8. can we use jaggery instead of sugar..?if yes,hw are we supposed to use.

    • Hi Shobana,

      You can powder the jaggery and add to the fried flour, mix it well and make the laddu. However, if you want to keep it for longer period, then make a thick syrup, add the fried flour to the syrup and mix it well. When it is warm enough to handle, make laddu.
