Sure, here is a recipe for Besan Laddoo:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of besan (chickpea flour)
- 1 cup of ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, or pistachios)
Instructions:
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and add the besan. Roast the besan while stirring continuously to prevent burning until it turns a light golden color and releases a nutty aroma. This should take around 10-15 minutes.
- Once the besan is roasted, add the ghee to the pan and mix it in thoroughly.
- Cook the mixture on low heat while stirring frequently for another 10-15 minutes until it becomes a slightly darker shade of golden brown and releases a sweet aroma.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down for 5-10 minutes.
- Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, add the powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts. Mix everything together until it's well combined.
- Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into small, round balls with your hands. Repeat until all the mixture has been used up.
- Allow the laddoos to cool down completely and set for at least an hour.
- Store the laddoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
