Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Besan (Chickpea flour)
- 0.75 cup Coconut oil
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, cashews)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick pan on low heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil melts, add the besan (chickpea flour) to the pan.
Stir continuously to mix the flour with the coconut oil, ensuring there are no lumps.
Keep roasting the besan on low heat for about 12-15 minutes. The flour will turn golden brown and will emit a nutty aroma.
Once the besan is roasted to perfection, add the chopped nuts to the mixture and roast for an additional 3 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the powdered sugar and cardamom powder together.
Add the cooled besan mixture to the sugar and cardamom concoction.
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined into a dough-like consistency.
Start taking small portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form round balls, slightly pressing and shaping them into ladoos.
Repeat the process until all the mixture is used and you have round vegan besan ladoos.
Store the ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature. They remain good for up to two weeks.
