Recipe Introduction


From Petrina Verma Sarkar


List of Ingredients




* 4 cups besan (bengal gram flour)
* 2 cups ghee (clarified butter) Ghee may not be tolerated by someone sensitive to dairy (casein)
* 2 cups powdered sugar
* 1 tbsp cardamom powder


Recipe



* Melt the ghee over a medium flame, in a thick-bottomed pan.

* Add the besan and brown till you get a cooked aroma from it. The besan will also turn darker as it cooks and when done should be a deep golden brown color. This browning process can take up roughly 20 minutes.

* Add the cardamom and mix well.

* Turn off the fire and mix in the powdered sugar. Stir well.

* Allow the mix to cool.

* When cool, form into golf ball-sized rounds. Place on a lightly greased, flat tray till they set well.

* Store in an air-tight container in a cool place.

Besan Ka Laddoo is an all-time favourite and made on several special occasions and festivals. The trick to getting this sweet right is in browning the besan (gram flour) perfectly.
