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.
