How to make Tirupati temple-like laddu at home
The chef made the recipe video in Tamizh. It opened showing him holding one of the laddus prepared by him in his hand, later placing them in a bowl along with tulsi leaves.
He described the preparation and said, "Tirupati laddu made using pure cow ghee at home. It will melt once you place it into your mouth." "This is a very tasty recipe," he added, drawing the attention of netizens to check out his reel and save it.
Seconds into the video, the laddu preparation procedure started with adding some basic ingredients in a bowl, including sugar, rice flour, milk, besan, and ghee. The process detailed how to prepare boondis, sugar solution to sweeten the laddu and more.
Invoking prasad flavour...
He asked people to initially prepare small boondis, soak them into sweet solution, and crush them after they are softened to match the texture of the original laddus offered at the divine temple in Tirumala.
Before concluding the video, he also added dry fruits to the prasad item and a secret ingredient which he believed would add the temple-like flavour into the laddus, camphor.
