The Best: Besan ke Ladoos

by Alanka
Ladoo is an Indian sweet.

Besan is chickpea flour and a very common flour type in India. It is used for sweet and savoury dishes. This recipe brings back wonderful memories of a wonderful smelling home. These ladoos are easy to make and just so delicious. My other half, just craved these ladoos everyday. So I learned how to make them via FaceTime, while I lived in Dublin.

Life takes you to unexpected places, love brings you home.

Better than chocolate… said the man.

It is Indian deliciousness, you need to use use your hands to combine the mixture and roll the ladoos.

Ingredients

4 cups besan (chickpea flour)
1 cup semolina
1 cup atta (whole weat flour)
3 cups ghee
4-5 cups sugar (to your taste)
Pinch of nutmeg powder
¼ tbsp cardamom powder
2 cups of chopped almonds, cashews, pistachios
Shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Use a thick heady bottomed nonstick pan to melt the ghee
  2. Add the besan and mix continuously and stir at low heat for at least 25-30 minuts, making sure the ghee is combined well with the besan (you will know it is done, when you smell delicious roasting aromas and the besan turns golden brown)
  3. When done, transfer the paste into a bowl and allow it to cool completely 
  4. Add sugar, cardamom powder, nutmeg powder and chopped nut mix (except coconut) and mix well
  5. Now take a spoon full of mixture and roll the ladoos

Notes

For the extra flavour, roll the ladoos in shredded coconut. Store the laddos in an airtight container at room temperatur – they will last at least around 7-10 days.
