How to make besan ke laddu at home :
- Take a heavy bottom kadai or pan and heat ghee and then add the besan.
- Lower the flame let the besan roast stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Once the color of the besan changes to light golden and a sweet aroma is released add 1 tblsp of water.
- On low flame only let the water evaporate stirring constantly. Adding water causes small crumbs of besan to form which gives a wonderful texture to the ladoos.
- Remove from the heat and allow the besan to cool down a little. Do not add sugar to hot besan or the sugar will crystallise.
- Later add sugar and nuts to the gram flour and mix thoroughly.
- Now grease your plams with little oil and form ping-pong size balls of the mixture.
- For garnish place a cashewnut in the center top.
- Besan Laddoo are ready to be served to your loved ones.
