Instructions

Prepare the Besan

Heat the desi ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the cardamom powder and stir briefly.
Add the chickpea flour and stir continuously, ensuring no lumps form. Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and light golden brown in color. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Combine Ingredients

Once cooled, add the finely ground almonds and powdered sugar to the roasted besan mixture. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined and a slightly sticky dough forms.

Shape the Ladoo

Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls (laddoos). You can optionally coat them in some extra powdered almonds for extra texture and visual appeal.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Badami Besan Ladoo immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Badami Besan Ladoo

For extra flavor, toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan before grinding.
If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or ghee at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
Use high-quality desi ghee for the best aroma and flavor.
Allow the besan to cool completely before adding the sugar and almonds, otherwise, the laddus may become too soft.
