Yellow Laddus


Laddus or leddo, as mallus call them,

Each time I crave it, my mind goes mmmm,


Memories of ammumma deep frying the boondis,

Inside a huge cauldron of ghee, that comforting fragrance I miss,


Along with the sight of ammumma meticulously rolling them inside her chubby fingers,

The taste lingers,


In the back of my mouth even today,

As I order away,


On Zomato, for that delicious box of childhood,

I know deep down, it won't be as good,


As ammumma's laddus,

Or leddos,


As she called them.
