Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra depth of flavor, roast the besan (gram flour) on low heat, stirring constantly, until it turns a deep golden color and releases a nutty aroma—this step is crucial for authentic taste and prevents a raw aftertaste.
- If you prefer a softer, melt-in-the-mouth texture, sift the roasted besan before mixing with ghee and sugar to break up any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
- For a flavor variation, add a tablespoon of finely grated dried coconut or a teaspoon of saffron strands soaked in warm milk to the besan mixture before shaping the ladoos.
- Store ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days; if making in advance for festivals, refrigerate them for longer shelf life and bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
