The capital of India, Delhi, is very popular all over the world for its vibrant mix of cultures. People from all over the country come to this city for studies and better job opportunities. This has also paved the way for different cuisines to become part of Delhi’s food habits. Since it is the festive season, mithais are in huge demand nowadays. Recently, we celebrated Diwali, Govardhan Puja, and Bhai Dooj.
Be it a puja in the house or any big festival, laddoos are always our top preference for celebrations. There are many varieties of this sweet treat, and besan laddoo is one of the most famous ones. It is prepared by slow-roasting gram flour in ghee along with the flavour of cardamoms and sugar. The final result is aromatic and golden sweet balls that have a heavenly taste. With its mouth-melting texture, besan laddoo has a special place in the hearts of Delhi-ites.
