Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams besan (chickpea flour)
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 100 grams powdered jaggery
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
- 2 tablespoons cashews, chopped
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped
Instructions
Heat a non-stick pan over a low flame and add the ghee.
Once the ghee melts, add the besan to the pan. Begin roasting the besan over low heat, stirring continuously to ensure even roasting.
Continue roasting until the besan turns a golden color and a nutty aroma emanates, which will take about 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
Remove the pan from heat and let the roasted besan cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add the powdered jaggery to the warm besan and mix well. Ensure the jaggery is completely blended with the besan.
Mix in the cardamom powder, chopped almonds, cashews, and pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, take small portions and shape them into laddus by rolling them between your palms.
If the mixture is too crumbly to form into balls, add a little more ghee, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Let the laddus cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Enjoy these delicious low-fat Besan Ka Laddus as a healthier snack or dessert!
