Notes
Cook the laddus on low heat. If dough can be rolled into a small ball, its ready. Shape Laddus while dough is still warm. Milk powder laddus taste great as is and can be served just like that. Dipping them in chocolate elevates the taste. Between the chocolate chips and baking bar,I found the baking bar, melted better and was easier to work with than the chocolate chips. While working with chocolate, its important to make sure the bowl and spoon are both completely dry. Moisture will seize the chocolate.
