Background

Gram flour ladoo or besan ladoo is very easy to make and very famous during the Indian festivals. They are very soft and will melt in your mouth.

Ingredients

2 cups Gram flour or besan
½ cup Ghee or clarified butter
1 cup powdered sugar
4 Cardamoms, powdered

Instructions

Dry roast gram flour in a pan on a slow flame for 10-12 minutes.
Keep stirring the gram flour so as not to burn and roast until it gets a brown colour.
Melt the clarified butter or ghee and add it to the roasted gram flour and continue to roast for another 4-5 minutes.
The gram flour would give a nice nutty fragrance and start releasing the ghee on the sides.
Now, switch off the flame and set it aside.
Add the sugar and cardamom powder until they are thoroughly mixed.
Take care that there are no lumps and let this mixture cool to room temperature.
After the mixture cools down, make small or medium sized balls.

Tips

If you are not able to form the balls, refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes, so that the ghee solidifies and then make the balls.
These ladoos can be stored in an airtight container.
