Green Papaya Laddoos (Sugarfree Recipe)

Some recipes are really special ! While it is tough to imagine desserts without the added sugar and fats, this is one such recipe that is thankfully free from the two evils and actually endowed with health benefits. Sounds too good to be true, rite ? But this green papaya laddoo is everything that belies conventional thinking. Easy to prepare and relatively less time consuming, this recipe is worth a try !
This is one recipe that has been passed on to me by my Mom and it is the one that gave me a chance to work with the inimitable Padma Shri Sanjeev Kapoor. Does one need any more convincing :)??
