Besan Laddoo are traditional Indian sweet balls made with roasted gram flour, ghee, sugar and aromatic spices. Slow-roasted besan and ghee create a rich, nutty base, while a touch of cardamom lends a subtle perfume. These melt-in-the-mouth laddoos come together in under 30 minutes with minimal effort - the key lies in patiently roasting the besan until it turns a light golden brown.

Description - Step 1

Roast besan

To start with this besan laddu recipe, in a heavy-bottomed kadai or pan, heat the ghee on low flame. Add the besan and begin roasting, stirring continuously. The besan will start to darken slowly and become aromatic. Keep stirring and roasting on low heat until the besan turns a light golden-brown colour and smells nutty. This step is crucial, so be patient and keep the heat low to prevent burning.
