BM # 61
Week :1 , Day: 1
Theme: Indian Mithai

 
This month we begin with the 61 st Blogging Marathon. I just can’t believe time runs that fast. It’s 5 years now since I have been blogging and these marathons are a part of my life. Besides these marathons, the blogging friends are a world to me. 
 
For this week I am doing Indian Mithais. Indian Mithais have such a wide array and its difficult to choose from them. All my friends know that I do not make ladoos and here you are …I have made ladoos. The Choorma ladoos are popular as a Rajasthani sweet , but these Choorma ladoos are typically Gujju ones. They are normally made on Holi, the festival of colors. These are served with a typical Gujju menu of Daal Bhaat Shaak.
 
The Rajasthani Choorma Ladoos have edible gum where as the Gujju ones are without them.. The garnish for these ladoos is poppy seeds , where as the Rajasthani ones there is no garnish. The gum changes the flavor to a great extend. I shall soon post those ladoos too.
