Hi, I linked this recipe to one of the posts on my blog. I really like you blog a lot and I'm a fellow ismaili :) Now i don't have to ask my grandma for traditional recipes, as I will find them here!
ReplyDeleteI was delighted to come across your lasan recipe as well as other items on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in an Ismaili household and, in terms of ghar ka khana, I lost my way for many years.
Now,in my 60s, there is a yearning for the food I grew up with. I can see myself visiting Chachi's Kitchen time and again.

ReplyDeletehey there! how many ladoos should this recipe make? Any clue about calorie content per ladoo? Appreciate you posting this!
ReplyDeletemakes 20-25 depending on the size. Calories - no idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Chachi - my laddu's didn't stick together, they remained crumbly and wouldn't form balls. Any suggestions? Too much oil maybe?
ReplyDeleteHi Anon
ReplyDeleteIt is more likely to be not enough oil.
