Besan Ka Ladoo

Ingredients

500 gms besan ( gram flour) 

250gms Ghee (clarified butter)
Sugar to taste but at least 400gms (Powdered)
Nuts are optional. The laddus are perfect without them

Directions - How to make

 

In a heavy bottom pan warm the ghee a little bit. Add the besan and mix well.  Roast the mixture on medium heat till the color changes and the aroma fills you. The trick is to keep the flame to a medium and keep moving the mixture.The besan will become a dark yellow or maybe mustard color.The ghee will start to seperate. Turn the flame of and let the besan cool.

 Once the mixture feels like it can be touched, add the sugar. Now you need to rub the sugar and the besan well together. The mixture should look smooth and even.You can add the nuts (almonds,cashews) at this stage. Make the ladoos and store in an airtight container.
