Once the balls are deeply fried they are kept soaked in sugar syrup for an hour or two so that the syrup gets soaked in those balls. Then they are mostly served hot because they taste delicious when they are served hot.
Besan Laddoo
In this country, this particular sweet is kind of special and this one is specially made with gram flour which is locally known as ‘besan’ (from where the name comes from). Here the gram flour and the sugar are roasted together and then they are mixed together to make small balls. They are hard in texture but a delicacy for sure.

But when it comes to this country, this particular sweet is not only popular but it is a mandatory sweet dish during the course of Ramadan. This one is made from curd and flour. These two ingredients are mixed and then they are formed into a batter to put into a muslin cloth bag with a hole at the bottom of it. one has to pour the batter through that hole in a particular twisted shape over hot oil so that it gets fried in that way only. When the frying is done, those coil shaped structures are dipped in sugar syrup for an hour before serving.
