Besan Ladoo
(Sweet
balls of Gram Flour)
Ingredients:
2 Cups Besan [Gram flour]
¾ Cup Vanaspati Ghee (Vegetable shortening)
1½ Cup Powdered Sugar
1 tbsp Milk
½ tsp Jaifal powder
[Nutmeg]
1 tbsp Golden raisins
Method:
Dry roast the besan in a kadai or pan on slow flame
for about 8-10 mins. Keep on stirring continuously so that the besan is not
burned and there is even browning. Melt the ghee and keep aside. Add the melted
ghee and continue roasting the besan for another 5-6 minutes stirring
continuously. The besan would start to give a nice nutty fragrance and will
start releasing ghee. Once you get a strong nutty fragrance, now sprinkle milk
and stir and switch off the flame. Cool the besan to room temperature. Now add
the powdered sugar and Nutmeg powder. Mix well so that no lumps are formed. Now
add raisins and make small or medium sized ladoos and store them in air tight
container.
