Besan Ke Ladoo Recipe


Ingredients:
11/2 cup gram flour (besan)
1tbsp semolina/suji/rava
1 cup sugar (add more sugar as per your taste) 
1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)
1/4tsp cardamom powder (optional)
dry fruits of your choice (I have used chopped cashews and almonds lightly roasted in ghee)
Method:
Take ghee in a kadhai. Put the gas on low heat. Once the ghee starts to melt add the besan and suji. Sieve the besan beforehand to avoid any lumps.
Cook the besan and suji on low heat till the raw flavours are gone and it is well cooked. Once the besan is cooked you will get a nice aroma. Keep stirring to ensure it gets cooked evenly without any burn. Time can vary depending on the heat of the gas. It took me around 20mins as I was cooking on very low heat.
After the besan is cooked remove it from heat. Let it cool little bit. Cool enough to use your hands to mix the sugar.
Add sugar, cardamom powder and chopped dry fruits. Mix all the ingredients well using your hand. The sugar I get over here is very fine so it was easy for me to mix. If the sugar you are using is coarse then you can powder the sugar before adding it to the besan.
Once the mixture cools down completely, form ping-pong size balls.
Besan ke ladoo are ready to serve. 
This recipe will make 15-17 besan ke ladoo.
