When traditional sweets are always a must,I always prefer for a little bit of fusion sometimes.Ladoo using gulkand and dry fruits was there in my mind from quite a long time but something else always used to take priority. SofinalyI did it and was quite happy with the result.
If you would like to avoid the stuffing then please go ahead and add a bit of cardamom powder to the chenna mix. I bet you are going to love these in any form.
