Besan ke ladoo : A traditional Indian Sweet

-
Besan ke ladoo - one of the most favorite and healthy Indian sweet which is prepared usually during Diwali,Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri.This popular Indian traditional sweet is irresistible and I can’t stop just having one. Generally, it is made with just 3 ingredients chickpea flour, ghee and sugar, and a topping of dry fruits, but can also be mixed with other flours.Besan ladoo are not only delicious and aromatic but also have melt in the mouth texture.Besan Ladoo, if stored well has a long shelf life so you can relish them for many days.


Ingredients Of Besan Ke Ladoo (Laddu)

  • 2 cup besan flour 
  • ½ cup ghee / clarified butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom (elachi) powder
  • 1/2 tsp.turmeric powder for color(its optional)
  • For garnishing almonds blanched 
  • For garnishing pistachios blanched



How to Make Besan ke Ladoo (Laddu)

    • In a kadahi melt the ghee and add the gram flour. Stir-fry over low heat. It takes about 30 minutes for the flour to get cooked through and it gets a pasty look when done.
    • The color should be a light brown. Shut off the heat and leave the mixture to cool completely. If it does not cool entirely, it becomes moist when sugar is added.
    • Add the sugar ,cardamom and  turmeric powder mix well by rubbing it with your open palm against the base of the bowl. Rub till blended thoroughly.
    • Shape into tight, hard balls, pressing hard at every stage. At the final stage, keep it pressed a little longer, so that the surface becomes smooth.
    • Decorate the top of each ball with almonds and pistachios. Serve.
    • These ladoos can be stored for almost 4-6 weeks in an air tight jar.

        Few Tips For Making Besan Ladoo


    • Besan or gramflour always choose good quality flour to aviod its bitter taste.The good choice  is the freshly miled flour or fresh pack of besan.
    • While making besan ladoo, Its important to roast the besan (gram flour) well, till it starts releasing the ghee and also will starts giving nutty fragrance. if you add sugar into the gram flour before it is roasted well, then the uncooked gram flour will have a raw taste in the ladoo and you won’t get the perfect sweet taste in the ladoos.
    • Also roast the gram flour on low flame and keep on stirring continuously.
    • Once you add the sugar then stir continuously so that no lumps are formed.
    • To make besan laddu more healthy, you can add dry fruits like almonds, raisins, walnuts,cashews or pistachois. they are also good during the winters.
