Ingredients

1 cup Gram flour, besan
1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1/4 cup Ghee
3 nos Green cardamom, powdered
3 tbsp Cashew nuts, chopped
3 tbsp Almond, chopped

Instructions

Powder sugar finely in a grinder/blender jar. Set aside.
Dry roast the besan in a heavy bottom kadai or pan on low heat for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Keep stirring continuously from the beginning. So that the besan does not get burnt.
After 12 minutes of total roasting time, add ghee to it.
Give it a nice mix and continue roasting the besan for another 12 to 15 minutes stirring non-stop.
After that you will see that the mixture have started releasing ghee and will give a nice fragrant nutty aroma. The mixture will also loose sides of the pan and become one. These are the signs, that the besan is cooked well.
So once you see these signs remove the pan from the stove-top and place it on your kitchen countertop. Let it cool down.
When the besan cools down add powdered sugar.
Add cardamom powder, cashew nuts and almonds.
Mix well so that the sugar combine well with besan.
At first your mixture may seem dry but keep mixing with your hand.
The heat from your hand will melt the ghee and bring them all together.When cooled, make small or medium-sized besan ladoo and store them in an airtight steel container.

Notes

Roast the besan/gram flour on a low flame only.

Add powdered sugar to the besan mixture after cooling the mixture.
