Malai laddu

A traditional Pakistani and Indian sweet treat, malai laddu is a creamy milk dessert that is usually flavored with saffron and cardamom. It is typically prepared with a saffron-and-cardamom-flavored mixture of malai (milk cream), crumbled paneer cheese, chopped nuts, and powdered sugar that is made into smooth balls.

The sweet balls are usually enhanced with yellow food coloring for a more vibrant-looking dish, and they are often sprinkled with extra nuts on top (such as cashews, pistachios, and almonds). Malai laddu is a festive dessert commonly prepared for various celebratory occasions and festivals.
