  • 250 g Gram Flour(Besan)
  • 250 g Powdered Sugar(Bura)
  • 250 g Ghee
  • 2 tablespoon Cashew(Kaju), crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Pista, crushed

Instructions
 

Preparaing Besan

  • Put besan in a heavy bottom vessel and roast it on a medium flame.
  • This will remove moisture from besan. Once besan gets roasted, add 200g ghee.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes on a low flame. During this, sprinkle some water droplets at some intervals.
  • When besan starts turning golden in color and releasing aroma, add a pinch of haldi and crushed cashews. Mix well.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes on low flame. Switch off the flame and allow the mixture to cool down.
  • Once the mixture has cooled down completely, add elaichi powder and bura. Do not add sugar, use bura only.
  • If required, you can add the remaining 50g ghee. Make sure the ghee is in liquid form before adding it to the mixture.
  • Taste the mixture and check if sweetness is appropriate.
  • Now, you can make laddus of the desired size. Garnish the laddus with chopped pista.
  • These laddus can be stored for a month.
