Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Gram Flour besan
- 1 cup Sugar granulated
- 6 Cardamom green cardamom pods (elaichi)
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup Clarified Butter
- 2 tbsp Almonds for garnish and flavor enhancement, slivered
- 1/4 cup Pistachios chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Besan
- Heat the desi ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat. Once hot, add the gram flour (besan) and stir continuously with a strong spoon or spatula to prevent burning.
Roast the Besan
- Reduce the heat to low and continue roasting the besan, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden brown and a fragrant nutty aroma develops. This process takes about 10-15 minutes, and careful attention is needed to ensure even roasting.
Prepare the Sugar Mixture
- While the besan is roasting, finely grind the sugar and almonds together in a spice grinder or food processor. Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and grind them finely as well.
Combine and Shape
- Remove the roasted besan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the ground sugar and almond mixture and finely ground cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Form the Laddoos
- Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, take small portions (about 1.5-2 tablespoons) and roll them into round balls (laddoos). Use your palms to shape the laddoos.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish each ladoo with chopped pistachios and slivered almonds. Arrange the finished Besan Laddoos on a serving platter. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Besan Ladoo
- Use good quality desi ghee for the best flavor and aroma.
- Roasting the besan is crucial; ensure it’s evenly browned to prevent a raw taste and ensure the laddoos hold their shape.
- Let the mixture cool down adequately before shaping the laddoos to prevent the ghee from melting and the laddoos from becoming sticky.
- Store the laddoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also refrigerate them for extended storage.
