Perfect Besan Ladoo Recipe | Melt-in-Mouth Indian

Besan ladoo (gram flour ladoo) Ingredients — makes 10–12 1 cup besan (gram flour) ¼ cup ghee, plus 1–2 teaspoons if needed ½ cup powdered sugar, adjusted to taste ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder 2 tablespoons chopped cashews or almonds (optional) Method 1. Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat. Add the besan and mix well. 2. Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring continuously, until golden and fragrant. The mixture will become smoother as it roasts. 3. Add the nuts, if using, and roast for another minute. 4. Turn off the heat. Transfer to a bowl and let it cool until slightly warm. 5. Add powdered sugar and cardamom. Mix thoroughly. 6. Take small portions and press firmly between your palms to shape into balls. If too dry, add a little melted ghee. Tip: Add sugar only after the mixture cools to slightly warm; adding it while hot can make the mixture runny.
