Motichur laddu are soft, delish melt in the mouth ladoo made mainly with gram flour, sugar, and other dry nuts like cashews and pistachios. 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. Motichoor ladoo is a popular sweet from the North Indian cuisine and often made during festivals or celebrations like Diwali and other family occassions. Mottichoor laddo is orange in color with tiny boondi.
About Motichoor Ke Ladoo :
In the Hindi language, the word ‘Moti’ means pearl and ‘Choor or Chur’ means to crush or crumble. Meaning to crumbled pearls. Actually, when you hold this ladoo in your hand and even apply a little pressure, they crumble as they are so soft and delicate that while eating also they fall apart. Even after days the softness remains the same. The main ingredient here is the gram flour. It is also known as besan in Hindi . For making this recipe use the finer variety of gram flour and not the coarser variety. Even sieve the gram flour before start mixing flour for making boondhi. If you plan to make the motichur laddu, for any pooja, then I do suggest adding a pinch of edible camphor in them. So that you get a prasadham smell and flavor. You can also fry the boondi in ghee. Generally, most food offered for naivedyam, are made in cow’s ghee. Desi ghee is mainly used for religious purposes. Store the motichoor laddo in air tight box for a week. Please do share this recipe with your family and friends. Enjoy this Diwali with the home made tasty sweets.
