Indian Sweet Laddu
This is an Indian confection that's often depicted in pictures of Hanuman and Ganesh. These are made very sweet in India, but I've decreased the amount of sugar and added a dash of rock salt to better suit a Japanese taste.
For some reason, they go very well with very sweet chai.
It will taste more genuine if you make your own cardamon powder by grinding whole green cardamons (shelled) with a mortar and pestle.
You can get besan (gram flour) from Indian grocery stores. Apart from this dish, it is used for dishes like pakora (Indian fried vegetables). Recipe by Go-pa-ra

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Lightly toast the almonds and then chop them up (roughly slice them lengthwise). Do not make them too small! - 2
Melt the 90 g of unsalted butter (or ghee) in a double boiler. Finely chop the pistachios. - 3
Put the besan and melted butter in a large frying pan, and toast on low-medium heat while constantly mixing.
- 4
Turn the heat off when the mixture turns golden brown and produces a sweet aroma. The key is to take your time and toast without burning it.
- 5
Once the mixture has cooled to the touch, add the sugar and salt and mix well with your hands. Do not let it cool too much.
- 6
Add the chopped up almonds and mix.
- 7
Add the cardamon to taste. If you like cardamon, you can add a lot and it will still be good.
- 8
Form the mixture into bite-sized balls. They'll be crumbly, but if you squeeze them tightly as you form the balls, they should be fine.
- 9
Dip the tops of the balls in the melted butter, then dip them in the chopped up pistachio to finish♪ These will keep for at least two weeks at room temperature.

Gulab Jamun - A Super Sweet Indian Treat Gulab Jamun - A Super Sweet Indian Treat
These are super sweet treats from India. They're imported in canned forms, but since it looked like I could make them on my own, I gave it a shot. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking. But if it isn't very sweet, it won't "feel" like gulab jamun. Don't forget to brush your teeth after you eat them.Make sure you let the dough rest for a while. You won't be able to roll it into balls otherwise. If the dough becomes dry, adjust by adding some milk. As for the syrup, you'll be putting in so much sugar it'll make you say, "Wait, this much sugar? Surely it won't melt." It'll feel like a joke, but the amounts are right. For about 20 balls.
