Motichoor Ladoo is a popular Indian sweet, made with besan (gram flour). It's one of my favorite sweets which I make for special occasions and is mouthwatering good! I have mentioned this often that as a kid I was a very non-picky eater (and I am still the same!). I used to eat all veggies but the only thing I was picky was sweets. Motichoor ladoo is an Indian sweet, different from boondi ladoo, because this is with tiny boondi and slightly different method of preparation and ingredients.
