Sunnundalu or udad dal ladoo are traditional Andhra sweet made specially during festivals and weddings. It is very nutritious and healthy ladoo. Sugar can be replaced with jaggery to make it more healthier. I still remember my mom used to make these ladoo at least once a month.
Diwali is this weekend and we are all preparing all the special sweets and savories for friends and families. This Diwali is even more special because my parents are with us here in USA. Its their first trip here and all are having a great time together. Me and my mom are non stop preparing all the sweets since the day she landed here. Today I will be sharing my moms and one of my favorite sweet Sunnundalu / udad dal ladoo.
This recipe goes to week 2 day 2 of Blogging Marathon 118 under the theme " Cook your favorite food".

What a healthy and nutritious ladoo this is. I have not made ladoo with urad dal before. I am going to give this a try.
Love these laddus. My MIL makes this laddu with whole black urad dal (minumulu)
I tasted this in my friend's place and immediately liked it. Thanks for sharing the recipe for the mouth-watering delicacy.
Healthy Ladoo... Love the Urad Dal Kali and this is so easy to prepare compared to that!!
This has been my favorite laddu since my childhood. We mostly make it with whole urad with husk and jaggery.
