BESAN LADDOO

It is my all time favorite sweet, mainly it is good for ritual ceremonies, In India people generally offer this laddoo to god as Prasad mainly in Hanuman jayanti, I made this laddoo for fast, it was delicious, Besan laddoo is very popular in northern India.  remember when you make laddoos, after frying the besan or gram flour, put little bit of ghee or clarified butter to your palm, it prevents sticking of flour in hands.

 Note:-you have to make laddoos when the mixture is warm otherwise you can’t make laddoos.

 Ingredients:-

Gram flour-500 gms

Castor sugar-500 gms

Ghee or clarified butter-250 gms

Cashew nuts-100 gms(broken into pieces)

Method:-

Mix gram flour and ghee over a low heat in a kadhai and constantly keep stirring to avoid lumps

 When it releases an appetizing smell remove it from the heat and allow cooling.

Add sugar and nuts to the gram flour and mix thoroughly.

 Now form ping-pong size balls of the mixture.

Ladoos are ready to be served
