Ganesh chaturthi special. Today is Dhol gyaras.. I made.... besan laddu.. Bhog Prasad Homemade besan laddu..
Besan Ladoo is a popular Indian sweet made from gram flour / besan, powdered sugar and clarified butter (ghee). Also known as Besan ke Laddu these are round sweet balls made by roasting gram flour and ghee together, and then adding sugar to make a thick pasty dough – that is then formed into delicious, melt-in-your-mouth balls. Make this decadent sweet during festivals like Diwali or Ganesh Chaturthi with my easy fail-proof recipe.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Dry roast the besan in a heavy kadai or pan on low to medium-low heat for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Keep on stirring 2 continuously right from the beginning. So that the besan is not burned and cooks evenly.
2

After 12 minutes of total roasting time, add the ghee.
Mix very well and continue roasting the besan for some more 12 to 15 minutes stirring non-stop.
You will see that the mixture will start releasing ghee and will give a nice fragrant nutty aroma.
Some ghee will float on top and and you will see a molten lava kind of consistency where the ghee is floating.
The mixture will also loose sides of the pan and become one. These are the signs that the besan is fully cooked.
3

Remove the pan from the stove-top and place it on your kitchen countertop. Add powdered sugar.
Adding Powdered Sugar
Begin to mix with all the strength from your hands. You have to mix this part vigorously so that the powdered sugar melts in the roasted besan and ghee mixture and no lumps are formed.
Add the powdered cardamom, raisins and cashews. Mix again.
Once you have mixed the ladoo mixture well then let it become lukewarm or cool at room temperature.
4

When cooled make small or medium size besan laddu and store them in an airtight steel container.
5

If you are not able to shape in balls then freeze the mixture for 5 minutes or refrigerator for 20 minutes.
6

Depending on the quality consistency of ghee as well as the room temperature you may be able to easily shape these or not.. ready to serve 😋
7

Serve besan laddu garnish with some nuts.
Happy Ganesh chaturthi....
