Besan Ladoo Recipe – Diwali Special

Besan Ladoos

Besan Ladoo is made with gram flour, sugar and ghee along with cardamon powder and dry fruits. Melted ghee in nice aromatic roasted besan (gram flour) along with cardamon powder and nuts gives delicious taste to ladoos.
Besan ladoos are often made in Diwali all over India along with other sweets and snacks.

You can dry roast chana dal and then grind it to powder. It should not be fine powder (little coarse). This form of besan gives nice texture and taste to your laddus / ladoos but if you want you can make ladoos of normal besan which we get easily outside in stores. So whichever besan you prefer you can use for making ladoos.

How To Make Besan Ladoo – Diwali Special:

• Heat 2 tablespoon ghee in a kadai or pan.
• Add 2 cups besan (gram flour) in it and roast it nicely till you get nice color and aroma of besan.
• Once besan is properly roasted, switch off the gas and keep besan to cool down slightly.
• Once besan is cooled down and slight hot then add 1 cup powdered sugar in it and mix. If you want you can keep sugar powder little coarse. Depends on how you like.
