Besan Laddoo

Description

Besan Ladoo is a traditional Indian sweet made primarily from besan (chickpea flour), ghee (clarified butter), and sugar, flavored with cardamom. It’s a rich, melt-in-your-mouth treat that’s enjoyed during festivals like Diwali, Holi, and other special occasions.

Here’s a general idea of how Besan Ladoo is made:

1. Roasting the Besan: The besan is roasted in ghee until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. This step is crucial as it enhances the flavor and texture of the laddoos.
2. Adding Sugar and Cardamom: After roasting, sugar is added to the besan, followed by cardamom powder for a warm, aromatic flavor.
3. Forming Laddoos: Once the mixture cools slightly, small portions are taken and shaped into round laddoos (balls).
4. Garnishing (optional): Sometimes, they’re garnished with chopped nuts like almonds or cashews.

The result is a soft, rich, and sweet treat with a wonderful flavor and a delightful texture.
