Annamayya Laddu

Annamayya Laddu is a traditional South Indian sweet named after the famous 15th-century composer and saint Annamacharya. This laddu is made from a mixture of roasted besan (gram flour), ghee, and sugar, sometimes flavored with cardamom or garnished with nuts and dry fruits. The gram flour is roasted in ghee until it becomes aromatic and golden brown, then mixed with sugar to form a thick, sweet dough. This mixture is shaped into round balls while still warm. Annamayya Laddu is cherished for its rich, nutty flavor and smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture, making it a special treat during festivals and religious celebrations.
