The S. Indian version is drier Motichoor laddoo - a subvariant of this is the North Indian moti-choor - the boondi is if smaller diameter and laddoo is wetter(more sugar syrup. The Tirupati laddoo is a S.Indian version of the laddoo, made with less ghee/sugar and with bits of rock sugar and other good stuff in it.<BR/>- Rava Laddoo - made of semolina and sugar. (and butter and milk)<BR/>- Besan Laddoo - chick-pea flour.<BR/>(laddoos can be made of any flour actually)<BR/><BR/>For some reason balls of nuts (like peanuts or sesame seed) are not called laddoos - their names usually translate into x-ball, where x is the nut/seed used. Such balls also usually use jaggery, not sugar. <BR/><BR/>Happy laddoo discovery...<BR/><BR/>BitterlemonsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559110753602072603.post-61496057389559318042007-09-20T15:00:00.000-04:002007-09-20T15:00:00.000-04:00Bright yellow means that it could have been a mot...Bright yellow means that it could have been a <A HREF="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-24,GGGL:en&q=motichoor+laddoo&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi" REL="nofollow"> motichoor laddoo</A>Avinashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521699080455382806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559110753602072603.post-63728570169327376412007-09-20T06:43:00.000-04:002007-09-20T06:43:00.000-04:00Avinash -- I have no clue what my laddoos are made...Avinash -- I have no clue what my laddoos are made from. I got a variety pack, so they're all a little different. My favorite has been the bright yellow one.<BR/><BR/>Shruti -- hi! You left a comment recently about at which university I was located... don't wanna reveal all the details online but it should be pretty obvious. Hyd is your home? Great! Sorry you miss it, though.<BR/><BR/>Daniel -- um... Google. ^__^<BR/><BR/>Ennis -- that pic looks nothing like my sand laddoo. The one I had was gray all over, with no nuts. Yours looks much better.<BR/><BR/>Div -- don't have a clue. The writing on the box is in Telugu only.

Look out for "sweet shops" - words to look out for are Swagruha, Sweets (As in Pulla Reddy Sweets), Abhiruchi. These shops sell different types of sweets including north and south indian version of Laddoos. The best and the oldest shop, as far as I know, is Pulla Reddy Sweets.

There are a lot of different types, of course, but my favourite is the motichoor laddoo. Now, they make something similar to the motichoor laddoo in Karnataka (maybe in the other southern states also), which is just awful. The Karnataka laddoo, called laadoo, has some other bigger-grained dal (yuk),granular sugar (yuk!) and cloves (yuk!!!).Avinashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521699080455382806noreply@blogger.com
