3-besan-ladoo
Notes
At one stage the flour starts browning at the bottom of the pan, so keep stirring carefully without letting it burn.
If not roasted properly, then the raw smell of besan and taste of besan will not be pleasant.
You can add upto 1/4 cup ghee for this recipe to get SHINY ladoos. I dint wanted it to look shiny, so I had hold 1 tblsp ghee.
You can also add the ghee to the flour while frying and just add the powdered sugar to it and make ladoos.
Ghee is the only flavor that brings taste to the ladoos, so never reduce it than mentioned.
