Motichur Laddu
Motichur Laddu is one of India’s most cherished traditional sweets, loved for its vibrant orange color, soft texture, and melt-in-the-mouth sweetness. The word motichur literally means “crushed pearls”, perfectly describing the tiny, delicate boondi (fried gram flour droplets) that come together to form this delightful treat.
Key Points
Taste & Texture: Soft, moist, and slightly grainy with a rich sweetness, often infused with cardamom and garnished with dry fruits.
How It’s Made: Golden boondi pearls are prepared from besan (gram flour), fried in ghee, and soaked in fragrant sugar syrup. They are then shaped into round laddus that glisten like jewels.
Occasions: A must-have during festivals like Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Raksha Bandhan, weddings, and other auspicious celebrations.
