Ladoos have always been my favourite sweets. Whether it is Milk powder Ladoos or Boondi ladoos, they are actually as appetising as they look.

Similarly, Boondi ladoo can make someone who has tried it for the first time to happily enjoy another one and why not, several ones.

These yellow ball-shaped ladoos surely has the taste of joy if one wants to sweeten life or celebrate a win.

What is more amazing with this ladoo, it is a symbol of family ties and celebration in Mauritius.

Whether it is Raksha Bandhan, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri or Deepavali, these ladoos always create a special place in our heart.

The strong bond and best memories that Boondi Ladoos create when we prepare, share with Hindu, Muslim or Christian friends and families and feed each other with love are always heartfelt.

Deepavali is approaching and what could be better than Boondi Ladoos…
