Besan Laddoo (बेसनाचे लाडू) -

Yeppeee! Its a festival time. Diwali is here and time to make wonderful sweets and

namkin. Now I am posting few Diwali goodies in advance.

 

Besan Laddoos - 

 

Ingredients –

Besan/chana dal flour (coarsely ground) – 4 bowls

Sooji (fine) – 1/4^th bowl

Powdered sugar – 2 bowls

Green cardamom powder  of 5-6 cardamom

Milk – ½ bowl

Pure ghee/clarified butter – 1 bowl

Golden resins and almonds and cashews for decoration

Procedure –

1. Take a heavy bottom pan. Heat ghee in pan. Add besan and fine sooji to it.

2. Roast flour on a low heat till it becomes golden brown in colour.

3. Turn off the heat and add milk and sauté for a while.

4. Take the roasted flour in a bowl and before it gets cool down completely add powdered sugar to it.

5. Add nutmeg and green cardamom powder and dry fruits you wish to add.

6. Knead it very well. Let it cool down while kneading.

7. Make laddoos out of dough and decorate with cashews or chopped pistachios or

silver foil.

Tip –

1. You have to roast the besan nicely, let it change the colour.

2.   Shape the ladoos when they are little warm, so that you will get soft laddoos.

3. Besan has to be coarsely ground. Otherwise laddoos can become little sticky. If you

don’t get coarsely ground besan then add little more sooji.
