Bandar Laddu (తొక్కుడు లడ్డు), Bandar Halwa (బందరు హల్వా)
Bandar Laddu (తొక్కుడు లడ్డు), Bandar Halwa (బందరు హల్వా) - traditional, melt-in-your-mouth sweets I got from the port town of Machilipatnam (colloquially called “Bandar” meaning “port”) recently.
Bandar Laddu has also been awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) tag: https://curlytales.com/from-port-to-plate-explore-the-rich-history-behind-bandar-laddus-and-their-unique-recipe/amp/
In Machilipatnam, near the bustling Koneru Centre, are located the two popular shops which sell these - Thatha Rao Sweets and Vani Sweets.
