Motichoor laddoo with step by step picture and video.

Motichoor ladoo is sweet/balls prepared by soaking tiny fried besan flour balls in sugar syrup. One difficulty in making it is the tiny balls. Here I have shared an alternate way to make this laddoo by not making that boondhi.  Here we use channa dal instead of besan flour. Let us see how to make this.
