Besan Ladoos are one of the easiest and delicious desserts made for any occasion. They originate from South Asian cuisine which includes India, Pakistan and Nepal. Ladoos are usually served on festive and religious occasions such as a wedding or religious festival. Ladoos are traditionally made with flour and sugar with other ingredients that vary by recipe. The recipe below has added besan. The trick to get this sweet right is in browning the besan (gram flour) perfectly.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups besan (bengal gram flour)
- 2 cups ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp cardamom powder
- Melt the ghee over a medium flame, in a thick-bottomed pan.
- Add the besan and brown till you get a cooked aroma from it. The besan willl also turn darker as it cooks and when done should be a deep golden brown colour. This browning process can take up to roughly 20 minutes.
- Add the cardamom and mix well.
- Turn off the fire and mis in the powdered sugar. Stir well.
- Allow the mix to cool
- When cool, form into golf ball-sized rounds. Place on a lightly greased, flat tray till they set well.
- Store in an air-tight container in a cool place
