Steps to make Besan Laddoo?

There are 3 major steps to make Besan Laddoos - Roasting the besan, Cooking the mixture and Making the laddoos.

Step 1. Roasting the besan

1. In a kadhai, dry roast the besan on slow flame. It will take about 11-12 mins. Ensure that the raw smell of the Besan has completely gone. The roasted besan should be reddish-brown in color.

A tip - Keep stirring the besan continuously. It can become brown very easily. Stirring ensures that the besan becomes reddish-brown evenly.

Step 2. Making the mixture

1. Once the besan is properly roasted, add melted ghee to the besan and continue roasting the besan. This should take about 5-6 minutes.

4. Little by little as the mixture starts combining properly, you will notice that it is ready.
5. Add the crushed jaggery once the mixture has cooled down and stir. Be careful and do not let the mixture form lumps.
