BESAN LADOO

Ladoo are ball shaped sweets from Indian Cuisine and made up on festivals and celebration. Besan Ladoo are sweet balls made up from Besan(Chick pea flour), Sugar, Ghee, Nuts, cardamom . It is my Son's favorite. There are a variety of Ladoo like Rava, Cococnut, Peanut, Methi, Pinni and many others.

I madde these Ladoo yesterday as it was Diwali and also for one more reason , My Hubby got the excellence award for his performance so I was very happy. And Besan Ladoo are his favorite too..So let's begin.

INGREDEINTS

• BESAN- 2 CUPS
• SUGAR- 1-1/4 CUP POWDERED
• CARDAMOM-3-4
• GHEE-1 CUP
• NUTS-ALMONDS, CAHSEW NUTS

PROCEDURE

• Take a Karahi and add ghee to it
• When it is melted, add Besan to it.
• Roast the Besan in the ghee but on a very low flame, this is really important, as we don't want to over cook the Besan and also under cook it
• It should be properly cooked, Keep it continuously stirring.
• The best way to judge whether it is done or not is that the whole house will be surrounded by the nutty fragrance of the Besan.
• Then take it out from the Karahi in a big Bowl for cooling
• In the meanwhile ground the sugar and cardamom together in a Mixie
• When the Besan is cooled enough to handle add the sugar mixture
• I powdered the nuts as my son doesn't like to eat them, just to hide it(He HE...:) )
• Now mix everything properly
• Try to form ladoo's
• If your mixture looks a little dry, you can add a little ghee to it
• Make Ladoo and store them in air tight Jars
• They can be stored up-to a month, although they won't be left(so tasty)
