Craving Tirupati Laddu? Here's How to Make the Iconic 311-Year-Old Sweet at Home

The Tirupati Laddu from the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirupati marked its 311th anniversary.

The laddu has a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, preventing commercial use of its name by others.

The homemade recipe uses gram flour, rice flour, sugar, ghee, cashews, raisins, sugar candy, cardamom powder, and edible camphor.

The method involves frying boondi, making sugar syrup to one-string consistency, mixing with ghee-fried nuts and cardamom, then shaping into laddus.

The recipe is a 'Tirupati Laddu style' version, not the original Srivari Laddu recipe from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
