250 g Gram Flour(Besan) 250 g Powdered Sugar(Bura) 250 g Ghee 2 tablespoon Cashew(Kaju), crushed 1 teaspoon Pista, crushed ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder(Haldi) ½ teaspoon Elaichi Powder(Cardamom) 1 teaspoon Water, to sprinkle
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.
