Besan ke Ladoo

Besan ke ladoo are made of roasted chickpea flour and are amazingly easy to make.
This is my sister's favourite and so are mine.
Enjoy this extremely easy yet extremely tasty sweet on any festival esp. diwali or navratri or Ganeshotsav.

Ingredients :

• Besan ( chickpea flour ) - 1½ Cups
• Semolina - 2-3 tbsp
• Ghee - 1/2 cup
• Sugar - 1 cup or to taste
• Cardamom Powder - 1/4 tsp
• Sliced pistachios or almonds - for garnishing

Directions :

• Take a pan and put besan, semolina and ghee and mix well.
• Roast this mixture on low-medium heat.
• Keep stirring making sure the besan doesn't burn.
• Keep roasting the mixture until the besan is aromatic and slightly brownish.
• Turn off the heat and let it cool down a bit. Do not cool it completely, it should be warm.
• Add sugar and cardamom powder while the besan is warm. That temperature would be enough for sugar to dissolve. Mix it well.
• Make lime sized balls out of the mixture , pressing gently between your palms.
• Garnish the ladoos with your favourite nut.
• Let it cool down to the room temperature.
• You can store it in air tight container for 2 weeks.

Tip : You can make it in microwave . Put besan , sooji and ghee in a microwave safe bowl. Mix well and heat for 5 minutes, mixing it every 1 minute. At the end of 5 minutes, you will see besan changing color to brownish and it will become aromatic. Remaining steps remain the same.
Enjoy !!! :)
