I recently received an email from my childhood best friend Anjali! We had both moved and lost touch, so it was lovely to hear from her again. She had come across About.com and found me on it! Makes you wonder, what did we do before the Internet? Anyway...

Anjali mailed and asked if I could please send her a recipe for Besan Ka Laddoo. This is our little joke since her mother makes the best Besan Ka Laddoo in the world!! I should know. I grew up eating them. Every now and then I would turn up and plead with Aunty to make them for me... and she would, bless her.

Okay, now having made that trip down memory lane.... Anjali's email made me long for some Besan Ka Laddoo so I made up a batch. Make some... just to see what I am going on about. You'll love them too.
