Besan ke Laddu

Besan ke Laddu is just pure love. I mean you have hundreds of varieties of Indian sweets, there can be different Kheers, Halwas and other numerous kinds of burfis, also Laddus, but there is something about Besan Laddu which is just pure love at first sight.

I know I sound like those Moms from some Bollywood movies from the 80’s and 90’s who always made Laddus for their kids and handed them in a large steel container while they would be leaving for work/studies to another city and it always came in with instructions of how the son should just be eating one each day and not share much, which of course the son forgot with convenience as soon as he reached his destination and his room mates and friends could smell the fragrance of home made Laddus from a mile away… OMG! can’t believe I just had the time and energy to mention all this. Well, hope it reminded you of your childhood movies if you have watched the “Masala Bollywood” and if you have not, I am sure the story still brought a smile to your face.

So, one day like a Bollywood mother I also got in the groove of making some Besan Laddus and I think its not just one of the easiest but one of the best sweet dishes ever. Its easy to make, few ingredients and takes very little time. If you are new at making Indian sweets, this is your go to dish. The instructions are pretty easy which makes it easy to follow and wonderfully impressive. Enjoy!!!

Instructions
  1. Add ghee to a pan.
  2. Add Besan to the ghee and saute it on low to medium heat.
  3. Besan should be stirred continuously so it does not burn. Cook till you can smell the well roasted Besan and the Besan should also get a little darker in color.
  4. Add Sooji to the Besan and roast it for another 5 minutes.
  5. Take the Roasted Besan out of the pan. Add the chopped Almonds and let the Besan cool down. Add in cardamom powder and saffron strands too.
  6. Add the granulated sugar. If you do not have granulated sugar, then you can grind your sugar to make it a little fine.
  7. Add the crushed Pistachios in as well. Mix everything well. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, make the small laddus.
  8. Decorate with silver leaf and serve. They stay good in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
