Bandar Laddu is a popular Andhra sweet from Machilipatnam. It is made with Besan Chakli pounded with jaggery and made into ladoos.
For the last of the Traditional Indian Sweets, I decided on this ladoo as this was on my list for a long time and never was the right time to make it. I had a few other dishes planned, however for lack of time I had to ditch those.
Still, making this laddu took time, and hence this delayed post. I referred to this and went ahead making this ladoo.
For the last day, I have this Bandar Laddu in the BM#104 Sweets & Snacks, whereas it's another sinful halwa in Cooking 4 all Seasons.

Looks like dry gulab jamun. They look absolutely scrumptious and feel to grab one from that plate. Lovely recipes this week and looking forward to your next week posts.

I have made once or twice these laddus. These traditional treats though tedious and calorie laden do taste wonderful and one can eat once in a while.

Wow ! Lovely Ladoos , perfectly round and a super idea to make these from chakli - I am actually wanting to taste them , I am sure they must be close to besan ones .

Love the color of the ladoos you got here Valli, normally they are lighter in color but looks like the jaggery syrup gave that beautiful color.
