Besan ke Laddu is a classic Indian sweet made during Diwali, known for its nutty aroma, melt-in-mouth texture, and the rich flavor of ghee. Perfect for festive celebrations and gifting, this traditional dessert brings warmth and joy to every bite.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups besan (gram flour)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup ghee (clarified butter)
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • 2 tbsp chopped almonds and cashews

Step-by-Step Method:

  1. Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame.
  2. Add besan and roast it slowly until golden brown and aromatic (about 12–15 minutes).
  3. Turn off the heat, let it cool slightly, and mix in powdered sugar and cardamom.
  4. Add chopped nuts and blend everything well.
  5. Shape the mixture into laddoos while warm. Let them set for 10 minutes.
Pro Tips:
– Roast the besan on low flame only; high heat can burn it.
– Use pure desi ghee for best flavor.
– Store laddoos in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
