BESAN LADDU

BESAN LADDU

INGREDIENTS

• Besan (chickpea flour) - 1 cup (250 grams approx)
• Desi ghee - 1/2 cup
• Powdered sugar - 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup
• Cardamom powder - 1 teaspoon

METHOD

• First, warm the ghee on low heat. make sure it is not very hot, it should be just warm.
• It adds flavour to the laddus and at the same time acts as a binding agent.
• Next, sift besan (chickpea flour).
• Add this flour to the warm ghee..
• Mix them well and keep the heat on low-medium.

• Now, roast this mixture till the time it gets well cooked. This will take around 10-15 minutes. A very nice aroma starts coming from this mixture. that is the time when you get to know that it is done.

• Turn off the flame and allow the mixture to turn warm from hot.
• Once, it turns warm, add powdered sugar to it & mix well.
• You can also add some almonds and raisins and cardamom powder to this mixture at this point.

• Put some mixture on your palm when it is warm & turn it into round laddus.
• If you have any problem in making the laddu, add a little milk.
• The mixtrue won't look sticky enough, but it will form round and beautiful laddus.
• Garnish with powdered almonds as I did it or you can even use whole almonds or raisins to garnish.
• Besan laddus are ready to serve.
