Ingredients
- 100 grams Besan (chickpea flour)
- 80 grams Ghee (clarified butter)
- 50 grams Erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 20 grams Chopped almonds
- 20 grams Chopped pistachios
- 20 grams Desiccated coconut
Directions
Step 1
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat until fully melted.
Step 2
Add the besan (chickpea flour) to the melted ghee, and lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 3
Continuously stir the mixture to prevent burning, cooking the besan until it turns golden brown and exudes a nutty aroma, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Add erythritol to the roasted besan and mix well, allowing it to melt slightly into the mixture.
Step 5
Stir in the cardamom powder and mix well to evenly combine.
Step 6
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool down slightly, until it is warm but not too hot to handle.
Step 7
Add chopped almonds, pistachios, and desiccated coconut to the mixture, mixing thoroughly.
Step 8
Take a small portion of the mixture in your hands and shape it into round balls (laddoos), repeating until all the mixture is used up.
Step 9
Let the laddoos cool completely at room temperature, allowing them to firm up.
Step 10
Store the laddoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
