Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Besan (chickpea flour)
- 120 grams Ghee (clarified butter)
- 150 grams Jaggery powder
- 50 grams Vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 50 grams Almonds
- 50 grams Cashews
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
Instructions
Begin by separating the almonds and cashews. Roughly chop the almonds and cashews and set aside.
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame and add the ghee to it.
Once the ghee melts, add the besan to the pan. Keep the flame on low and stir continuously to avoid burning.
Roast the besan until it changes to a golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma. This should take about 20 minutes.
Once the besan is roasted, add the chopped almonds and cashews to the pan. Stir well so that they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
Add the protein powder to the besan-nut mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is well incorporated.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Add the cardamom powder and jaggery powder to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
While the mixture is still warm, shape it into small, round laddus using your hands.
Allow the laddus to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
