Besan Ladoo

This is one of my favourite Ladoo which is not very common at Calicut. When I was working at Trivandrum, I used to buy this whenever I could, but never thought that i would be making it one day... This is a very tasty ladoo and if you have lil patience you can also make it at home..:)

After all homemade dishes have its special taste..
Ingredients

• 1 cup besan powder
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup ghee
• 1/4 cup chopped badam
• 1/4 cup raisin
• 1 powdered cardamon

Procedure

• Roast Besan powder in ghee on slow fire till besan powder slightly changes its color.
• Stir it well while roasting to make sure there are no chunks formed and besan is not browned.
• To this add the rest of the ingredients and stir it well on slow fire.
• Make sure that sugar is not burned.
• After mixing it very well switch off the flame and stir it for few more min so that the mixture won't get burned due to the hot kadai.
• Keep it for some time so that the mixture is not too hot to be touched.
• Using the palm make small balls with the mixture. Don't wait till the mixture to be completely coll for doing this.

I didn't use badam and raisins as i didn't have them at home when i made it. Still it tastes the same as the "Maa Ladoo" we get at Arul Jyothi, Trivandrum...:)
