Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gram flour (besan)
- 1 cup Ghee
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (cashews and almonds)
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
Instructions
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat.
Add the gram flour (besan) to the melted ghee and reduce the heat to low.
Stir continuously to roast the besan evenly, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Roast the besan until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Once roasted, remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
While the mixture is still warm, add the powdered sugar and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Add the chopped nuts and raisins, mixing them evenly into the mixture.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, take small portions and roll them into round balls (laddoos) between your palms.
Place the laddoos on a plate or tray and let them cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
