Ingredients

• 1 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Ghee (clarified butter)
• 0.75 cup Powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or cashews)
• 1 sheet Edible silver leaf (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low to medium heat and add the ghee.

Step 2

2. Once the ghee has melted, add the besan (chickpea flour) to the pan. Stir continuously for 5-7 minutes to roast the flour until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Be careful to roast the flour on low heat to prevent burning.

Step 3

3. Add the almond flour to the pan and mix well. Keep stirring for another 3-5 minutes to ensure the almond flour is lightly toasted.

Step 4

4. Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly (but not completely).

Step 5

5. Add the powdered erythritol and cardamom powder to the roasted flour mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 6

6. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, take a small portion in your hand and roll it into a smooth ball (laddoo). Repeat until all the mixture is used up.

Step 7

7. Garnish each laddoo with chopped nuts by pressing them gently into the surface. For an added decorative touch, place a small piece of edible silver leaf on top of each laddoo.

Step 8

8. Allow the laddoos to cool completely at room temperature. Once set, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
