motichoor ladoo recipe| how to make motichur laddu, motichur ke ladoo

Motichur ladoo is delicious, melt in mouth Indian sweet recipe we usually prepare during our festivals. Basically, It is an exotic indian sweet prepared with besan florets. the florets are then soaked with sugar syrup and then it is transformed to a lemon sized balls known as laddus. this is very similar to boondi ladoo where the florets are in big size.

Ladoos has a long history. And I could say that Ladoos are the National sweet dish of India ;). The origin of this ladoo was more because of the medicinal properties that the ingredients used proffered than as a sweet. It is said that these ladoos were given to teenage girls to keep their raging hormones under check. In fact treatment, and not an indulgence, was what led to the discovery of some of the popular ladoos including methi, makhana and sonth.

So traditionally,motichoor ladoo is prepared with motichoor laddu jara or jharna. you can easily find these with the halwais or professional cooks. however, i have used fine vegetable strainer with small holes and later crush the boondis to a coarse powder to get the perfect result.

The whole process of making ladoos took a lot of time specially preparing the boondis. dont be scare, The preparation of motichur ladoo is very very easy but just a time-consuming. The major difference between motichur ladoos and boondi laddu is the size of the boondis(florets) used in it. There is no doubt that motichur ladoos are prepared with the smaller boondis and also, orange food color added to differentiate both the recipe:)

I  have used the food color to get the orange color in mothichoor ladoo recipe. if you do not have orange food color than you can mix yellow and red color to make it orange. adding food color is optional and you can totally skip it. besan florets would anyway have the rich yellow color and it is sufficient for these ladoos. usually, food color is added to make it more attractive and presentable. if you are making these laddus just for your family than skip it.
