Servings:
Ingredients
- 2 cups Besan Gram Flour, fine
- 1/2 cup Ghee Clarified Butter, melted
- 3 Cardamom pods
- 1 cup Crystalline White Sugar
- 1 tbsp broken Cashews
Instructions
Step-1 Roasting Cashews
- Start by adding a little ghee to the kadai for roasting the cashew bits.
- Once the cashews turn golden brown, remove them from the kadai and set them aside.
Step 2: Roasting Besan
- In the same kadai, add the besan.
- Roast the besan on low heat, continuously mixing to avoid burning. This ensures even cooking.
- Strive to remove lumps formed during roasting. This version simplifies handling, and I'll share a hack in the upcoming steps.
Step 3: Adding Sugar
- Choose to add either powdered sugar or boora from the grocery shop.
- If making powdered sugar at home, add a couple of cardamom pods while grinding for a delightful aroma.
Step 4: Mixing Besan and Sugar
- After straining the besan, add the powdered sugar & fried cashew bits.
- You can mix them together and store in an airtight container for quick ladoo assembly when needed.
Step 5: Immediate Preparation
- If making immediately, add the roasted cashews and warm ghee to the besan and sugar mixture.
- Knead the dough, ensuring it becomes smooth.
Step 6: Shaping Ladoo
- Divide the dough into equal balls and shape them round.
Step 7: Garnish and Enjoy
- Garnish with your choice of dry fruits.
- Your Besan Ladoo is now ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
Bonus Tip:
To make this version easier to handle, consider the hack of adding powdered sugar separately and combining it later for a quick ladoo assembly. This way, you can enjoy freshly prepared ladoos whenever you crave them.
