BESAN LADOO

Besan ladoo is also one of the Diwali recipes which Maharashtrians make along with Karanji.  I have already posted the Besan Modak.  The ingredients and methods are same.  For ladoo, we make small balls out of it and for Modak, we shape into a modak with the modak mould. 

Let us see the recipe now:

Ingredients:

2 cups Besan / Gram flour
 1  cup pure ghee
1-1/2 cup powdered sugar
4-5 tbsp each chopped almond and cashew nut, charoli etc.
1 tsp elaichi powder

Method:

Heat 1/2 Cupp ghee in a pan.  Add the gram flour / besan  and roast on very low heat until it turns golden brown by continuously stirring.  Transfer it into another bowl and keep aside to cool.  When it is slightly warm, add  the powdered sugar, cashewnut, almond, elaichi powder, charoli etc. and mix well  and shape into beautiful  ladoos. You can mix and keep it and after 4-5 hours you can prepare the ladoos. This can be used for making Besan  Modaks too.  

 

NOTE:  Quantity of ghee may vary depending upon the quality of Besan.
