Churmi ladoo popularly called as "churmundo" at my home is everybody's favourite ladoo. I vividly remember my mamama (maternal grandmother) preparing 'dabbas' of these ladoos with home-made pure ghee & distributing it to everone in the family.
It was particularly popular with us children. This ladoo is very nutritious & yummy to have with a glass of warm milk.
It is particularly good for growing children & women in post-partum. The addition of dry fruits leads to added nutrition.
