Ingredients

 

Method

Editor's Note: Tagar is a mixture of sugar, water, milk and ghee used for making laddoos because it improves their taste considerably. You can increase the quantity of agar you add depending on how sweet you prefer your laddoos -- the same goes for the amount of sugar you add to make the laddoos.

Make tagar using this recipe (external link).
