Ingredients
Tip: Easy to smooth your gram flour before baking ensures a simple texture and prevents any unexpected lumps in your ladoo.
Instructions
- Besan roasting:
- In a heavy bottomed pan, heat 1 cup of ghee on the medium flame. Slowly add 2 cups of besan. Stir constantly so that the besan roasts evenly without sticking.
- Besan is roasted and joyful, nutritious aroma until transformed into rich gold browns. This process can take 15-20 minutes. Here is the patience - each stirring is more of a different taste note.
- Pouring taste:
- Once your basin is completely roasted, reduce the flame and mix in a spoon of cardamom powder with chopped almonds.
- Stir for an extra minute to allow the flavors to merge.
- Mix in sweetness:
- Remove the pan from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool down a bit so that it is warm to touch but not very hot.
- Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and mix well with hands for the sugar to evenly distributed in the mixture.
- Shapes Lados:
- When the mixture is still warm and soft, take a small piece with your hands and shape it in neat, rounded balls. Continue until all the mixture is used.
- If using raisins, press a few gently on the top of each ladoo for decoration.
- Serving and Storing:
- Let your Ladoos cool completely. As they arrive at room temperature, their creation will be firm.
- Store them in an airtight container. They can stay fresh if they are refrigerated for up to a week or refrigerated.
Extra tips and variations
- Check consistency: If you think the mixture is too dry (add one extra spoon or two of ghee.) The composition should be sufficiently moist to be tightly tied when the roll is done.
- Flavor Tweaks: For a unique turn, try to add a pinch saffron or finely grated coconut sprinkle when mixed with sugar.
- Serving suggestion: Besan ladoo is paired beautifully with a cup of Chai. This combination not only high its flavors, but also provides a comfortable, extraordinary experience of traditional Indian hospitality.
