Today is the time for Paan Gulkand laddu. It’s easy, unique and very tasty. Another best thing about this dessert is .. unlike other laddus, all it takes is a teaspoon of Ghee to make it. Try making them this Ganesh Chautarthi and enjoy it with your friends and family. Also these coconut ladoos are filled with gulkand (rose petal preserve) which makes them really flavorful. You can also add some chopped nuts too in the center. Just chop them fine and mix with the gulkand and stuff the ladoos with the mixture.
