Celebrate festivals or any occasion,sometimes just because you crave for these - soft,delicious Motichoor Ladoo! These are better than store -bought ones,do not leave your mouth and hands greasy and perfect to munch from kids to old!


Festivals are a beautiful part of our lives and the best part of festivals apart from shopping and celebration is that we make so many homemade goodies,meet family and friends and spare some time out of busy lives to enjoy!
My loved part of any festival whether its Diwali,Rakshabandhan / Rakhi,Dussehra,Holi,Ganesh Chaturthi or Bahubij/Bhai Dooj - is preparing sweets and snacks.
I have shared many festive sweet recipes on my blog before.Few of them are: Instant Jalebi(yes,these are instant and crisp), Besan Ladoo, Doodh Peda,Badusha/Balushahi/Bhakkam Peda,Khova/Mawa Gulab Jamun and many more. Complete list is HERE.
I am sharing my favorite Motichoor Ladoo recipe here in this post.

These are perfect ladoo which you can try, easy to make,no-fail recipe! Yes, these are very good,non-greasy and better than store-bought ladoo.
The best part of this recipe is that you DO NOT need to get the perfect boondi shape,perfect sugar syrup consistency and still can make best ladoo.


Adding color to the batter to make them Orange(light / dark) or keeping them Yellow is always a personal choice. I have done is a lighter shade of Orange than very dark/bright orange as how we usually find in store-bought one.

What Tricks/ Tips will help me make the ladoo perfect?
  • Make sure the batter is not watery nor very thick.Easily able to drop from the slotted spoon holes.
  • DO NOT over-fry the boondi. Cook them well but not very crisp.Work in batches.
  • DO NOT over grind the boondi.Just grind once for 2 secs max.Work in batches.
  • There is no need to make sugar syrup of 1-string or 2 -string consistency. Just cook it for a while and make it slightly thick.
  • After adding boondi to syrup,cook on medium flame,watch if boondi burns. Cook till the sugar syrup is getting consumed.
  • DO NOT make it very dry or later it will be difficult to make ladoo,as the entire mix will be harden.
  • Cover the mix and keep aside for 1 to 2 hrs. By this time the boondi has consumed most of syrup.
  • Make ladoos as per preferred size. If you like more ghee flavor add little more ghee when making ladoo.
