Servings8 ladoos
Ingredients
- 1 cup besan flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup+ 2 tablespoon ghee
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 5 to 6 strands saffron
- 2 tablespoon cashews broken
Instructions
- Sieve gram flour once and keep it ready.
- Heat a teaspoon of ghee add broekn cashews and roast it tll golden brown,set aside.
- Heat 1/4 cup ghee in a nonstick pan preferably.
- Now add sieved gram flour. Roast it in low flame until color changes to golden brown...
- Keep stirring continuously to avoid burning at the bottom, this may take 7-10 mins.
- Now add cardamom powder and saffron give a quick mix and switch off.
- Let it cool for 5mins then add powdered sugar and mix well until completely blended.
- Now transfer this mixture to a mixing bowl along with ghee and cashews.
- When the mixture is warm, combine well to form a smooth dough. Then shape balls with your hands. You can even grease your hands with ghee to avoid sticking. I got 8 lemon sized laddus.
- You can even garnish with almonds/pisatas for extra crunch. Let it cool completely then transfer to an airtight container and enjoy your homemade Besan ladoos.
Notes
- Make sure you roast besan flour till raw smell leaves else it will give a raw taste to the ladoos.
- You can even add add 2 tablespoon roasted sooji along with besan flour to make the ladoo. It will give nice crunchiness to the ladoo.
- With just 1/4 cup of ghee you can form balls but the ladoo will not be moist. So while shaping I added extra 3 tablespoon ghee to make the dough moist and smooth.
- You can even add pistachios and almonds for garnishing the ladoos.
