Besan Ladoo is traditional Indian sweet made with gram flour (besan), ghee, sugar and lightly flavoured with cardamom.
Laddu or ladoo is a spherical sweet from the Indian subcontinent made of various ingredients and sugar syrup or jaggery. Various varieties of Ladoos play a significant part in every Indian festival. Ask any Indian and they would have their own favourite ladoo for instance my daughter loves ‘Motichoor Ladoo’, my husband loves ‘coconut ladoo and I love this besan ladoo recipe.
First things first- Let me be honest when I say that this recipe of besan ladoo is labour intensive and needs some patience. The gram flour is roasted in ghee for 10-15 minutes on low heat while stirring continuously but the result is definitely worth it!
I often make Besan ladoo during festivals like Holi, Diwali or Ganesh Chaturthi and my simple recipe makes the perfect lightly sweetened melt in the mouth ladoo.
