Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Besan (Chickpea Flour)
- 0.5 cup Coconut Flour
- 0.5 cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 0.75 cup Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 0.25 cup Almonds (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Pistachios (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over low-medium flame.
Add the besan and coconut flour to the pan, stirring continuously to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
Roast the mixture for about 10-12 minutes until it turns golden brown and you notice a nutty aroma.
Add the finely chopped almonds and pistachios to the mixture and continue to roast for another 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the erythritol to the roasted flour mixture. Stir well to combine.
Add the cardamom powder and unsweetened desiccated coconut to the mixture, stirring continuously for another minute.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly until it is warm enough to handle.
Once cooled, take small portions of the mixture in your hands and shape them into round balls (laddus).
Allow the laddus to cool completely and set at room temperature before serving or storing.
