Laddu or laddoo is a spherical sweet from the Indian subcontinent made of various ingredients and sugar syrup or jaggery. It has been described as "perhaps the most universal and ancient of Indian sweets."[1]
Laddus are often served during celebrations and religious festivals, especially those associated with the Hindu deity Ganesha.[1][2][3]
