Almost every Indian child between the ages of 5-15 has had a fascination with Chhota Bheem at some point or the other. Chhota Bheem is the main character in an animated comedy series of the same name, which airs on Pogo TV. Chhota Bheem, modelled after Bheema from the Mahabharata, lives in the kingdom of Dholakpur and spends his days protecting the king and the kingdom from evil forces.
Chhota Bheem’s Love For Laddus
While Chhota Bheem and his friends use a combination of wits, skills and luck in saving the kingdom, one secret to Bheem’s strength is laddus. Indeed, laddus are one of his biggest weakness; he often steals them from Tuntun’s laddu shop and is also offered them by Chutki, the daughter of Tuntun who has a crush on Bheem.

If your child watches the show devotedly, he may get it into his head to steal some laddus for himself. Instead, make some laddus at home so he always knows where to go for them! Serve these as desserts or treats.
