A new post with updated pictures....and much more to read :)
One of my favorite sweets....Besan Ladoo!!
As a kid I never had a sweet tooth but it developed immensely as I grew up.
I never liked the taste of store bought sweets,somehow for me it was never appealing.
So I started preparing sweets at home!! Check out my Jalebi, Chocolate Milk Cake, Rasmalai recipes too.
It's magical,how the taste of a dish can change immensely, just based on the quality of ingredients used and the way you make the dish.
Here is the Step by Step explanation of how to make these perfect ladoo for any occasion:
Firstly,in a small bowl take ghee and milk together and heat it lightly.
Now using your hands,take small portions of this mix and start rubbing on the flour.
Do not pour the entire mix of ghee at once on the flour then the flour will turn hard and ladoo will not be good.
Consume the entire ghee mix and make sure the flour is nicely coated with this mix.
If you try to form a ball of the flour then it should hold together.
Next,is sieve this flour,discard any residue.
In a pan,preferably non-stick,add flour and ghee and keep stirring it till the flour is brown in colour and it leaves aroma.
Let it cool,add the cardamom powder and powdered sugar.
Mix well and keep aside to cool.
When the mix is still slightly warm,start making ladoo.
I used to make all my sweets/dishes/savory snacks from store bought ghee/clarified butter till now. Recently after much thought to it, I started making ghee at home. Since we live in a world where its difficult to follow traditional process of saving the cream and finally after a month or so make the ghee.
I have started making ghee at home with store bought butter and even with that, the taste of these sweets/dishes have elevated with amazing fragrance and rich taste.
Besan ladoo was not my loved snack to be frank! But now I make this for almost every festival :) Time changes and so does people(ofcourse I mean for good ;) so did I and now I love this!
With various failed attempts to get that exact delicious taste, finally I could recreate the same taste.
Every bite of this ladoo is soooo delicious that they will vanish in no time and believe me, even if you don't have sweet tooth these are irresistible!!

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure that I've ever tried these sweets, but they look fantastic! I was just eyeing chickpea flour at the Middle Eastern market last week but wanted to wait until I had a recipe to use it in before buying. Now I know what to try with it! Yum!

ReplyDeleteI have a question at what stage do we add nuts in making of these Ladoo? And how do you prepare the nuts do you dry roast them, deep fry them or just add them raw?
Hi Ruchika, you can add nuts finally when making ladoo. Just add few nuts on your palm when you take small portion to make ladoo. No need to roast them just add as it is. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteI am a bit confused. I noticed you have ghee Lone and also another 2tbsp plus milk. When rubbing the besan to form a dry dough, are we supposed to use this and then later when cooking, we use the other 1/2 cup? Or? Can you please clarify that. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMix of ghee and milk is used to rub on the gram flour and remaining ghee (1/2 cup) is used later.Hope this helps.
DeleteSo I have been making besan ladoo for a few yrs now with loads of different receipes. Nothing could achieve the perfect halwai texture where u don't see ghee shining on the ladoo, it easily stays in the round shape but crumbles right in your mouth! Thank you so much!
