Khatkhate Ladu

In Konkani Cuisine, Khatkhate Ladu is a traditional gourmet delicacy from Malvan, Maharashtra. Khatkhate Ladu are prepared by binding together, in the shape of a baseball, the sugar coated crispy croissants (called Khaja by native Konkani population). The specialty of Khatkhate Ladu is that they are very dry, hard and crisp from outside, but contain moist and soft core that is often filled with sugarry syrup inside.
