Ingredients
- 2 cup Besan
- ½ cup Ghee or Butter or Oil
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Cardamom Seed Powder
- ¼ cup Nuts chopped
Instructions
- Sift the flour in a bowl and keep it aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, add ghee. Let it cook at low-heat until the ghee melts.
- Then add besan to it and mix it until combined. Do not worry if you see lumps in the flour. Keep stirring and roasting, it will loosen up.
- Keep stirring continuously at low heat. Besan will start to combine properly in 10-15 minutes and will be smoother. Let it cook for a few more minutes until it turns a little golden-ish and you can smell a nice aroma coming from the mixture.
- Turn off the flame and transfer the roasted flour to a bowl to let the mixture cool down.(Note: Do not add sugar when the mixture is hot, otherwise the sugar will melt & the mixture will turn a little liquidish).
- Once the mixture cools down, add powdered sugar, cardamom seeds powder, and chopped nuts and mix until well combined.
- Now take a small amount of mixture in your hand and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Your besan laddu is ready. Repeat the process for the rest of the mixture.
- Store the besan ladoo (besan ke laddu) in an air-tight container and garnish them with some grated or chopped nuts.
Notes
Always roast besan at low-heat and stir it continuously so it doesn't stick at the bottom of the pan.
Don't add sugar when the besan mixture is still hot. Let it cool down and then mix sugar with besan.
If you ladoo doesn't mold in shape then you can let it rest for few more minutes and try again. Or you can store the mixture in a refrigerator for 10-15 minutes and then mold it.
I hope you'd like the besan ladoo (besan ke laddu) as much as I do. Enjoy!
