Besan Ladoo

Another sweet recipe from gram flour. Tasty and easy one. Mix of ghee,gram flour and sugar . It is popular in northern part of India

Preparation Time - 5 minutes
Cooking time - 20 minutes
Yields - 15 to 16 ladoos

INGREDIENTS:

Gram flour- 2 cups( use a 240 ml cup)
Powdered sugar - 1 cup
Melted ghee - 3/4 cup
Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Cashews - for garnishing.

METHOD:

1. Take a cup of sugar and powder it finely. Melt ghee.Prepare all ingredients and set ready.

2. In a pan, add gram flour and dry roast it for about 11- 12 minutes.While roasting, first start with roasting in very low flame for about 5 minutes. Then change to medium flame and roast for next 3 minutes. Then again change to very low flame and roast for 3 minutes. This helps in gramflour getting heated evenly and will not get burnt . You have to keep stirring continuously without leaving.

3. Now add melted ghee and fry for another 5-6 minutes. Again, first 3 minutes fry in medium flame and then fry in low flame for the next 3 minutes. We will get a creamy texture.Do not stop stirring. You need to keep stirring continuously.

4. After some time, the mixture gets thickens and ghee starts to comes out of the paste and will look shiny on the top.You can also smell a nutty frangrance. At this point, switch off the gas and take the pan and keep aside.


5. Now add sugar powder ,cardamom powder and mix well without any lumps. It gets thick and comes together as shown below.

6. Allow it cool down completely. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Then make balls out of it. Decorate with fresh cashews. If you find difficult to make balls, refrigerate the mixture in fridge for about 20 minutes and take it out and make balls. Do not refrigerate for too long as it will get very hard. Once you finish making ladoos , you can put it in a container and store in fridge.

Note:  The ghee in ladoo gets thicken when refrigerated and gets loosen , when taken outside and kept in room temperature .So if u want to eat the ladoo, take it out from refrigerator and keep outside for 10 minutes , so that it turns soft to eat.

Hi .. I made ladoo but it’s not binding properly as ghee is more so I kept in refrigerator for 30mins and than it took shape but now I think as it’s summer it will again loosen its tightness so what to do.. after giving shape should I store in fridge all the laddoos in airtight container..

Usually after 1 day, I keep the ladoos in fridge. Before serving, you can take it out .
