Mothichur Ladoo (Refined Sugar)

Motichur laddu are soft, delish melt in the mouth ladoo made mainly with gram flour, sugar, and spices. The gram flour batter is fried to make tiny balls or boondi and mixed with sugar syrup, nuts or seeds and later shaped to neat round balls.

The most ubiquitous sweet in almost every Indian festival nowadays, the motichoor laddu is traditionally associated with the states of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The laddu's name – motichoor or crushed pearls – alludes to the tiny pearls of fried gram flour that are rolled into spheres soaked in sugar syrup.
