I remember for one Diwali I spent almost half a day making besan laddoos for my friends.
And the first time that it was I forgot to powder the sugar as it was not told in the recipe to powder the sugar :-) The laddoos tasted good but we could feel the crunch of the sugar crystals as well :-) .
Laddoos are a favorite for all our Indian festivals be it Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali or Durga Pooja.
Now I will share a great recipe for the laddoos to be made in such an easy and quick way you will want to thank me for it.
This recipe will make 10 laddoos.
Ingredients
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Besan/gramflour/Chickpea flour(preferably a little coarse or you can add a teaspoon of sooji along with the besan)
1 Teaspoon freshly ground Green cardamoms.
1/3 Cup Ghee
A few nuts like Cashewnuts or raisins to Garnish
Steps to follow
1. In a Microwave safe bowl add ghee and besan and MW High(850-900 Watt) Covered for 2 Minutes .Make sure to stop and stir after one minute.
2. Microwave on Low power for 1 more minute and stir after half a minute.
3. Check that you are getting the aroma of the besan and it is the color that you like.
4. If you feel it is still a little raw , you may want to MW for another half minute on low power till you reach the desired color and aroma.
5. Add cardamom Powder and Powdered Sugar to this mixture . Mix well and Bind the laddoos when they are a little cool but still hot enough to be bound together.
If the laddos are not binding well you can add a little more ghee or a liitle warm milk which will help in binding.
Garnish with nuts.raisins/silver warq on the top if you like.
Celebrate with any occasion and don't forget to comment on the post if it comes out well :-)
