Oh yes, getting 8 hours of sleep is the best Mother's day gift. I had a good sleep because we already had pre-Mother's day celebration yesterday. Lovely laddoo and its perfect for me to be made during festive seasons. The pistachios added make it even more interesting because the usual I have seen is cashews.
