Besan ka Laddu (Chickpea flour sweet balls)

I wish all my readers a Very Colourful and Safe Holi, The Indian festival of Colors and harvest!


Every year I make these instead of  'bundi ke laddu' ( a type of sweet usually made during festivals and offered to God)  as my family and friends love 'Besan ke laddu' this. 
What are laddus? Ball shaped indian sweets



Ingredients:


  • 1 cup: ghee
  • 4 cups: besan (garbanzo bean flour/chickpea flour)
  • 2 cups: powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup: chopped almonds
  • 1 tsp: powdered cardamom 

Method:


  • Keep the kadai/pan on low flame.
  • In the pan mix the besan and ghee. Keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps from forming.
  • Stir and fry till the mixture turns slightly brown. If required you can add little ghee. I have used 11/2 cups of ghee. (each cup is around 150-160 ml)
  • Add the cardamom and sugar and mix thoroughly.
  • Now allow the mixture to cool down.
  • Apply some ghee on your palm and make into small balls.
~Enjoy~
