🎉 Festive Sweet: Besan Ladoo Recipe You’ll Love

No Indian festival is complete without the melt-in-your-mouth magic of Besan Ladoo! Made with roasted gram flour, ghee, and sugar — these golden sweets are a celebration of warmth, tradition, and love.

🍯 Ingredients

For about 10–12 laddoos:

• Besan (gram flour): 2 cups

• Ghee: ½ cup

• Powdered sugar: ¾ cup

• Cardamom powder: ½ tsp

• Chopped nuts (optional): 2 tbsp

🪔 Method

1. Roast the Besan
   Heat ghee in a heavy-bottom pan. Add besan and roast on low flame for 10–12 minutes. Stir continuously until the flour turns golden and releases a nutty aroma.

2. Cool Slightly
   Turn off the flame and let the mixture cool until it’s warm (not hot).

3. Add Flavor & Sweetness
   Mix in powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts. Combine well until the mixture binds together.

4. Shape the Laddoos
   Grease your palms with a little ghee and roll small portions into round laddoos.

5. Let Them Set
   Allow the laddoos to rest for 15–20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

💛 Pro Tips

• Roast patiently — under-roasted besan tastes raw, and over-roasted turns bitter.

• Add a spoon of boora sugar for a more traditional texture.

• For festive flair, top each laddoo with a sliver of almond or pistachio.

🌟 The Taste of Celebration

Soft, aromatic, and rich in ghee — Besan Ladoos are more than just sweets; they’re memories wrapped in flavor. Perfect for Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, or any special day, these ladoos will win every heart!
