Besan ke Laddoo

For making around 40 laddoos.

Ingredients: 

. 2 Cups Besan (Gram Flour)

. 1 Cup Ghee

. 1 Cup Sugar

. 1/2 teaspoon green cardomom powder

. 10-15 almonds (Badam)

Procedure:

. First, powder the sugar by mixing in a mixer-grinder.

. Next, take a non-stick kadhai/deep pan and pour the ghee.

. Once the ghee gains some warmth and melts, add the cardomom powder and roast for 30 seconds.

. Put the besan in the Kadhai/Pan and roast for 10-15 minutes.

Note: Please note here that the colour of the besan will not change but the kitchen will be filled by a sweet aroma.

. After 10-15 minutes, take out the mixture from the pan and put in a big enough vessel.

. Let the mixture cool a little for around 5 minutes.

. Separately, crush the almonds into small uneven pieces. 

. Now, put in the powdered sugar and crushed almonds.

. Mix everything together properly.

. Now, start making small balls/laddoos with your hand and keep aside.

Note: The ghee acts as the binding agent. So, if you feel that the balls/laddoos are falling apart, heat some ghee separately and put in the final mixture.

. Keep the laddoos aside for them to harden or put in the refrigerator for 20 - 30 minutes. 

Now, relish the final delicious homemade besan laddoos and make your guests happy.
