How to make Besan Ladoo
Sift chickpea flour to avoid getting lumps later. Powder the
sugar
fine. Coarsely chop the almonds and roast the raisins in a
bit of
ghee. Heat the ghee in a thick-bottomed pan on a low flame.
Add
besan and keep roasting till the aroma from it is wafting
across.
Switch off the flame. Add the sugar and cardamom powder as
well as the almonds and raisins into the besan mixture.
Shape
tight balls from the mixture and leave aside to cool. Store
the
Besan Laddus in an airtight container.
Alternatively you can try the simple microwave version. Mix
the
besan and ghee in a thick glass bowl. Microwave it for about
3
minutes. Stir after each minute. Then microwave for another
half
minute. Remove and let the mixture cool. Add the powdered
sugar and nuts and mix well. Shape into laddus.
