Festivals are incomplete without sweets and In India, festivals are incomplete without ladoos.
Ladoo, an Indian sweet can be made using different ingredients in round shape. We can make various ladoos with many ingredients such as motichoor ladoo, rava ladoo, coconut ladoo, besan ladoo and their list is endless.
Especially, one of the my favorite Besan ka Laddoo. Without besan ka ladoo can’t imagine it.
Besan ka Laddoo, An Indian dessert usually made during festive times, Besan ke Ladoo are easily made from roasted besan or gram flour with ghee in a kadai/pan, flavored with sugar and cardamom and shaped it round balls.
Some people also add suji (rava/semolina) to the besan for the crunch. However, I personally prefer without suji besan laddoo.
Let’s make a Yummy Ladoo.
