BESAN UNDE (GRAM FLOUR LADOO)



BESAN UNDE (BESAN / GRAM FLOUR LADOO)

Preparation time: ½ an hour-45 mins
This recipe is from my mother-in-law.

Ingredients:

Gram flour (besan) - 1 cup
Powdered sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - ½ cup
Cashew nuts – 2 tspns (chopped)
Saffron- few strands
Cardamom – 3-4

Method:
1. First of all sieve the gram flour.
2. Take a heavy bottomed pan and add 2 spoons of ghee when it melts add the cashews and then gram flour and keep stirring on a low flame until its smells good. Take care to remove all the lumps.
3. I used a potato masher to remove all the lumps:-). Worked really well for me.
4. Once it turns slightly brownish, turn off the gas and keep it down to cool it.
5. Add sugar (grind normal sugar in blender) to this mixture along with saffron and cardamom powder.
6. Melt the rest of the ghee, allow it cool and add to the above mixture and mix well.
7. Now you can make lemon sized balls and voila! Its ready to dig in!!!!!!
