Besan Laddoo

Some traditional sweets are so good that there's no point in trying variations of it. Besan Laddoo (chickpea flour laddoo) is one of those!

Whether it's festivities or just any occasion to enjoy these yummy treats, Besan Laddoo is always a good idea.

Here it is, my version of BESAN LADDOO:


Ingredients: 1 cup Besan flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar or icing sugar, 1/4 fresh ghee melted, 1 tsp cardamon powder, chopped nuts for topping if desired.

Make:

1. In a heavy bottom pan, roast the besan flour with ghee, continuously stirring to avoid any burning. After about 10 minutes the mixture will start to turn from crumbly to a smooth paste.

2. Continue to stir in low flame for about 15 more minutes, the mixture will release ghee and turn more like a dough. There will also be a roasted aroma and will look golden brown. Turn off heat and stir a few minutes to help cool it.


3. Leave the mixture to cool to room temperature, should take about 15 minutes. At this stage, add the powdered sugar and cardamon powder and mix the dough well. It will be a smooth dough that can be rolled easily into balls. 

4. Roll into round laddoos and gently press on chopped nuts. Let it cool completely then reshape if needed. Serve ideally the next day as it will harden up and taste delicious. 

Enjoy these melt-in-mouth Besan Laddoos!
