Laddu Recipe

 


    Laddu, also known as Ladoo, is a popular Indian sweet made from various ingredients. One of the most common types of laddu is the Besan Laddu, made with chickpea flour (besan), ghee, sugar, and nuts. Here's a recipe to make Besan Laddu:

Ingredients:

2 cups Besan (chickpea flour)

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)

1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

A pinch of saffron strands (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, cashews, pistachios) for garnishing.

Instructions:

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai on medium heat and add ghee to it.

Add Besan (chickpea flour) to the pan and roast it on low to medium heat, stirring continuously. Roast the Besan until it turns golden brown and aromatic. This may take around 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

Once the Besan is roasted, remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly.

Add powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands (if using) to the roasted Besan. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Allow the mixture to cool completely until it is easy to handle.

Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round balls or laddus using your palms. If the mixture is dry and not binding well, you can add a little melted ghee to help bind it together.

Once the laddus are shaped, press a few chopped nuts onto each laddu as garnishing.

Repeat the process with the remaining mixture to make more laddus.

Allow the laddus to cool and set for a few hours before serving.

Store the laddus in an airtight container at room temperature.

Besan laddus are rich, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth treats. They are often made during festivals or special occasions in Indian households. You can experiment with variations by adding other ingredients like desiccated coconut, raisins, or cardamom for different flavors. Enjoy these delicious laddus as a delightful Indian sweet!
