Chef Tips:

  • This preparation is meant for people who love Indian sweets but with a little less ghee.
  • You may add raisins & cashew nuts, if desired
  • Keep the mixture after cooling at room temperature, in the refrigerator for 12-15 minutes for better texture and also it becomes much easier to prepare ladoos.
  • There is another method of making Badami besan Ladoo in which the ghee is melted and in that the besan is cooked till the raw aroma disappears, and the the entire method after that remains the same but of course the proportions differ i.e.  Bengal Gram flour : Ghee: Powdered Sugar – 2:1:1
