Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Besan (chickpea flour)
- 80 grams Ghee (clarified butter)
- 50 grams Erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 20 grams Chopped almonds
- 20 grams Chopped pistachios
- 20 grams Desiccated coconut
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat until fully melted.
Add the besan (chickpea flour) to the melted ghee, and lower the heat to medium-low.
Continuously stir the mixture to prevent burning, cooking the besan until it turns golden brown and exudes a nutty aroma, about 10 minutes.
Add erythritol to the roasted besan and mix well, allowing it to melt slightly into the mixture.
Stir in the cardamom powder and mix well to evenly combine.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool down slightly, until it is warm but not too hot to handle.
Add chopped almonds, pistachios, and desiccated coconut to the mixture, mixing thoroughly.
Take a small portion of the mixture in your hands and shape it into round balls (laddoos), repeating until all the mixture is used up.
Let the laddoos cool completely at room temperature, allowing them to firm up.
Store the laddoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
