Tips to Make Besan Laddu

  • Use the finer texture ProPoshan besan or a coarser texture besan. However, the texture of the Besan Ladoo will be gritty if you use the coarser besan.
  • Roast the gram flour on medium heat and stir continuously until it begins to release ghee and a nutty aroma, as mentioned in the Besan Ladoo recipe.
  • The besan is ready when it turns golden and releases a nutty aroma. Avoid over-roasting to prevent bitterness.
  • Allow the roasted besan to cool slightly before adding ghee and sweeteners to avoid separation.
  • Taste the mixture before shaping the Besan Ladoos to adjust the sweetness to your preference.

Lightly grease your hands with ghee while shaping the Besan Ladoos to prevent sticking.
