Ask any Indian about their childhood, and you’ll hear fond memories of grandma’s kitchen — the aroma of roasted besan, the sizzling sound of ghee, and ladoos being rolled with love.
Ladoos aren’t just sweets — they are tradition, heritage, and emotion wrapped into a ball. At Pune Bytes, we’ve taken these age-old recipes and given them a healthy modern twist so you can enjoy the same taste of tradition, guilt-free.
