MAGDAL

#Diwali snack Gujarat has a traditional sweet recipe called MUGDAL (મગદળ), a type of laddu made from moong beans flour, which has been passed down from our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Do you know the history of laddu? The history of laddu is very old, and it was first mentioned by the Indian physician Sushruta in the 4th century. At that time, laddus were made as a medicine using sesame, peanuts, jaggery, honey, and herbs as antibiotics. The first evidence of laddu is found in the Sushruta Samhita. During the Chola dynasty, soldiers were given laddus as a symbol of good luck when they went to war, and laddus could be stored for a long time.
