How many of you remember that excitement bubbling inside as summer holidays approached? Back then, holidays didn’t mean trips to exotic places or expensive resorts—it meant packing a small bag, hopping on a train or bus, and heading straight to grandma’s house. For me, that was the highlight of every year.

I wasn’t just any kid in the family – I like to think I was my grandparents’ favorite. My grandpa always had a twinkle in his eyes when he saw me, and my granny would start cooking the moment she heard I was coming. That warm welcome, the familiar smells from her kitchen, and the way they pampered me – it felt like a different world. A world far away from school, homework, and rules.

My granny’s food was something else. Each dish she made was a masterpiece, but not in the fancy, five-star-restaurant kind of way. Her food was simple, made with love, and full of flavor. I still remember the crispy dosas, spicy pickles, and warm ghee-drizzled rice she served with a smile. But the one thing that still lingers in my memory is her Ladoos.

To be honest, I was never much of a Ladoo fan. The store-bought ones always felt too sweet or too dry. But my granny’s Ladoos? They were magic. Soft, perfectly sweetened, and filled with the fragrance of roasted flour and ghee – they were unlike anything else. Even the texture was just right. I never thought I’d crave a Ladoo, but hers had that special something.

What made them so different? Maybe it was the way she roasted the flour slowly, stirring with patience, or the generous handful of chopped nuts she added without ever measuring. But more than that, it was the care in her touch, the love she poured into every batch. She made them just for me. And I knew it.

Now, as I sit and write this blog, I can’t help but miss her deeply. The house is still there, the memories remain, but granny’s laughter and her warm hug at the door – that’s what I miss the most. Sometimes, a smell in the air or a bite of a sweet brings it all rushing back. Her Ladoos weren’t just sweets. They were comfort, tradition, and a whole childhood wrapped in love.

We grow up and move on, but those summer memories stay close to the heart. I hope someday, I can make Ladoos just like hers – not to match the taste, but to carry forward the love. Because in the end, that’s what made those summers unforgettable.

There’s something magical about homemade sweets. The aroma of roasted besan, the rich ghee, and the crunch of nuts bring back warm memories of childhood and festive days. I remember watching my grandmother shape each besan ladoo with such love and skill. She never needed a recipe or a timer. It was all instinct, passed down from generations.

Naturally, I thought I could do it too.

So I tried. With all my heart, I tried. I roasted the besan carefully, melted the ghee just right, and added just the right amount of sugar. But when I rolled them… they were either too soft, too dry, or simply didn’t hold their shape. My kitchen smelled amazing, but the ladoos didn’t match the ones I remembered.

And that’s when I asked myself: What if I just can’t make ladoos like her?

It’s not easy to admit, especially when it comes to something as cherished as traditional sweets. But the truth is, not all of us have the time, patience, or experience to get them just right. Still, the craving for that taste – the one full of love and nostalgia – never really goes away.

That’s when I discovered Fabsta Besan Ladoo, and everything changed.

While shopping at Star Bazaar, I noticed a beautiful box with the Tata logo on it. It said Fabsta Besan Ladoo, and something about the packaging caught my eye. Maybe it was the promise of quality, or maybe it was the thought of reliving that childhood flavor. I picked up a box and decided to give it a try.

Let me tell you, I wasn’t prepared for how good they were.

Each box of Fabsta Besan Ladoo contains 12 perfectly round, golden delights that smell and taste just like the ladoos I grew up with. The besan is roasted to perfection, the ghee is rich without being greasy, and the sweetness is just right – not too much, not too little. And here’s the thing: you can’t stop at just one.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about popping one in your mouth and savoring that melt-in-the-mouth texture. Before you know it, your hand is reaching for another. And another. They’re that good.

What I loved most was the quality and consistency. Every single ladoo tastes the same – delicious. It doesn’t feel like a compromise; it feels like a celebration. It reminded me that while homemade is beautiful, there’s no shame in embracing good products made with care. Especially when they come from a trusted name like Tata.

Fabsta has managed to bring the magic of traditional Indian sweets into a convenient, ready-to-enjoy form. Whether you’re sharing them with guests, offering them during festivals, or just treating yourself after a long day, these ladoos are a perfect fit.

So, to anyone who’s ever felt disappointed by their homemade attempt or simply doesn’t have the time to make sweets from scratch, I say this: let go of the guilt. Sometimes, a product like Fabsta steps in and fills that gap with excellence.

And honestly, when the taste is this good – why not?
