Ingredients used for making ladoo are simply available in every Indian household pantry. All you need to do to make ladoo – heat ghee in a non stick pan, once the ghee is hot. Add besan and keep stirring it continuously which will prevent it from burning. Do not strictly leave it unattended. You will need to roast the besan for 13-15 mins at least. You will know the besan is cooked when the besan would turn golden brown and has a nice aroma. Further, transfer it in a plate and let it cool down. Once the mixture has come to room temperature, add sugar. Also, add coarsely grounded almonds which would give ladoo a nutty taste and finally cardamom powder which would enhance the taste of it. Mix well and roll into ladoos. The finish of the ladoo should be shiny, which is an indication of perfectly cooked besan ladoo.
When making this, remember that the rich flavour of the ladoo depends on how well you cook the besan. Under-cooking it will leave behind a raw taste, which will ruin the whole recipe. So, make sure you cook it well. The proportion of ghee and besan is also important as you might end up with a dry or very soft ladoo if it is not done right.
