Motichoor laddoo are made of very small gram flour balls or boondis which are deep fried, then simmered in sugar syrup till they absorb the syrup and plump up. These are then shaped into delicious crumbly laddoos. Motichoor laddoos are savoured by all and come in different sizes, colours and compositions. These are offered to Lord Ganesha on the auspicious occasion of Ganesh chaturthi
