  1. Majulaji, I made these today for Diwali and they have come out superrrr, the best sooji laddoo I have ever eaten. The proportions are perfect. Thanks for a great recipe , I have made many of your recipes and always got great results.

  2. Hi Manjula.
    Just a little query.
    Do these laddus tend to get spoilt coz of use of milk??? Do we need to refrigerate them, if we wanna store them for a longer period of time???
