*.Ingredients:>
( measuring cup used , 1 cup = 250 ml )
2 cups besan or gram flour
½ cup ghee
1 cup powdered sugar or boora
4 cardamoms , powdered in a
mortar - pestle.
1 or 2 tbsp golden raisins
*Preparation:>
1. dry roast the besan in a kadai
or pan on slow flame for about 10 -12 mins .
2. keep on stirring continuously
so that the besan is not burned and so that there is even browning .
3. melt the ghee and keep aside.
4. add the melted ghee and continue roasting the besan for some more 5 - 6 minutes stirring continuously.
5. the besan would start to give a
nice nutty fragrance and will start releasing ghee .
6. once you get a strong nutty
fragrance then switch off the fire .
7. remove the pan from the stove and keep down.
8. add powdered sugar or boora , for best taste use the boora .
9. add the powdered cardamom
and raisins .
10. you can also add chopped dry
fruits at this stage.
11. stir well so that no lumps are
formed.
12. once you have mixed the
besan ladoo mixture well then
let it cool down to room temperature.
13. make small or medium sized
besan ladoos and store them in air tight container .
*.Notes:>
if you are unable to form the ladoos
even when the mixture has cooled
completely , then keep the mixture in
the fridge for 20 -30 mins . the ghee
will solidify a bit and you will be
easily able to form the besan
ladoos .
