Diwali is a festival where maximum sweets are consumed though the trend of distributing sweets is changing . Nuts and chocolates are taking over . When we were in the hotel line it was kind of mandatory to make Kaju Mithai . The planning for it started a couple of months prior . We even made chocolates in bulk. Procuring the raw material , and executing these was a task but fun .

I still love to make sweets in a bulk and recently I made the Fruit and Nut Ladoos for Rakshabandhan . For today I have special  Paneer Gulkand Ladoos . These ladoos are flavoured with Gulkand , the Indian rose preserve. The base of the Ladoo is coconut and paneer . Since we are using paneer the shelf life of these ladoos is very short and is better to consume them within two days. The ladoos are rich and melt in the mouth kinds.

These ladoos are my Day 1 post for the third week of BM 81 under the theme Diwali Sweets.
