One of my favourite Laddoos.
Apart from the cooking time, you need some preparation time, nuts chopping time and cooling time .
To give a festive look as Diwali is near I garnished the ladoos with pistachio and edible silver leaf.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Deseed the Cardamom and grind it. Finely chop the nuts.
2

Shift the Besan so that there are no lumps
3

Heat ghee in a pan /kadai, when it melts add besan little by little so that no lumps form mixing after each addition.....keep the flame low.
4

Keep on stirring so that it does stick to the bottom.....in between add the Cardamom powder too and keep cooking or roasting the Besan in the ghee till the nice roasted aroma of the Besan starts smelling....it almost took me 30-35 minutes on low to medium flame,adjust flame accordingly. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp water on the hot Besan* and keep stirring. Almost at the end add in the chopped nuts too.Once done put it in a steel plate and let it come to room temperature. It almost took me 1 hour plus.
5

Once at room temperature add the BURA chini / sugar (Bura Chini is not regular powdered sugar but cooked and crystallized sugar made into powder)and mix well. Then form laddoos of desired weight. Here I could make 40 pieces of 20 (+/-) gms. While forming balls if you feel the dough is turning soft simply put it in fridge for 5-10 minutes and then you can easily form the balls or work in an AC Room.
6

Garnish it with edible silver leaf (optional), pistachio or any other nuts you desire to. Pack it in Gift boxes and gift your near and dear ones this Diwali. Bon Appetit!!!

Note : *sprinkling water on the hot Besan helps it to become grainy. Here I have used mota besan and not regular fine Besan.
