Sooji ladoo is a traditional Indian sweet that holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother would make these ladoos every Diwali, and they were always a hit with the whole family.
The process of making sooji ladoo is quite simple, but the end result is a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth sweet that is perfect for any occasion. The key is to roast the sooji until it is golden brown and then mix it with a thick, syrupy sugar mixture and ghee. The mixture is then shaped into small, round ladoos and coated with chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
Every time I make sooji ladoo, I am reminded of my childhood and the special bond I share with my mother. I hope you will enjoy this recipe and create your own memories with your loved ones. Happy cooking!
