Ingredients
Instructions
-
*Roast the Besan*:
In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp of ghee on medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of besan and roast it, stirring continuously to avoid burning. Roast until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma (about 7-10 minutes).
-
*Cool Down*:
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
-
*Mix Sugar and Cardamom*:
Once the roasted besan is warm (not hot), add 2 tbsp of powdered sugar and a pinch of cardamom powder. Mix well until combined.
-
*Form Ladoo*:
Take a small portion of the mixture in your hand and shape it into a round ball. If desired, press a few chopped nuts into the ladoo for added texture and flavor.
-
*Serve*:
Enjoy your delicious besan ka ladoo!
Note
- *Ghee*: Ensure that the ghee is adequately heated before adding besan.
- *Roasting*: The key to perfect ladoos is thoroughly roasting the besan to avoid a raw taste.
- *Cooling*: Allow the mixture to cool sufficiently before adding sugar to avoid melting it.
