– Welcome to Kanak’s Kitchen, where we celebrate the joy of cooking and sharing delicious recipes. Today, I’m thrilled to share with you my authentic Besan Ladoo recipe, which is a popular Indian sweet treat.
– Besan Ladoo, also known as Besan Laddu, is made with roasted gram flour, ghee, sugar, and flavored with cardamom and nuts. It’s a festive favorite and perfect for celebrations.
– Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a novice in the kitchen, this Besan Ladoo recipe is easy to follow and will yield irresistible, melt-in-your-mouth laddoos that everyone will love.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups gram flour (besan)
– 1 cup ghee
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
– 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
– Edible silver foil (optional, for garnish)
Recipe:
1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, dry roast the gram flour on medium heat until it turns aromatic and light golden in color. Make sure to stir continuously to prevent burning.
2. Turn off the heat and transfer the roasted gram flour to a separate bowl. Let it cool for a few minutes.
3. In the same pan, heat the ghee until it melts. Add the roasted gram flour back into the pan and mix well with the ghee.
4. Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly, until it turns a rich golden brown color and releases a nutty aroma. This process can take about 15-20 minutes, so be patient as this step is crucial for the flavor of the laddoos.
5. Once the gram flour and ghee mixture is well-cooked, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
6. Add the powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts to the mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.
7. While the mixture is still warm, take small portions and shape them into round laddoos using your hands.
8. If desired, garnish the laddoos with edible silver foil for a festive touch.
9. Allow the Besan Ladoos to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Enjoy these delectable treats with your loved ones!
I hope you enjoy making and indulging in these delightful Besan Ladoos as much as I do. Happy cooking and sweet celebrations!
