Laddu or laddoo (laḍḍū, lāḍḍū) is a sphere-shaped sweet originating from the Indian subcontinent; the name originated from the Urdu word Lattika. Laddus are made of flour, fat (ghee/butter/oil), and sugar, with other ingredients that vary by recipe, like chopped nuts or dried raisins. They are often served at festive or religious occasions.[1][2]
