Ingredients

• 200 grams besan (chickpea flour)
• 4 tablespoons ghee
• 100 grams powdered jaggery
• 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 2 tablespoons almonds, chopped
• 2 tablespoons cashews, chopped
• 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick pan over a low flame and add the ghee.

Step 2

Once the ghee melts, add the besan to the pan. Begin roasting the besan over low heat, stirring continuously to ensure even roasting.

Step 3

Continue roasting until the besan turns a golden color and a nutty aroma emanates, which will take about 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Remove the pan from heat and let the roasted besan cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the powdered jaggery to the warm besan and mix well. Ensure the jaggery is completely blended with the besan.

Step 6

Mix in the cardamom powder, chopped almonds, cashews, and pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, take small portions and shape them into laddus by rolling them between your palms.

Step 8

If the mixture is too crumbly to form into balls, add a little more ghee, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 9

Let the laddus cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Step 10

Enjoy these delicious low-fat Besan Ka Laddus as a healthier snack or dessert!
