Ingredients
- 2 cups Besan (chickpea flour)
- 0.75 cup Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, cashews)
- 0.5 cup Stevia or erythritol
- 0.25 cup Raisins
Directions
Step 1
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on medium flame and add ghee.
Step 2
Once the ghee melts, add the besan (chickpea flour) to the pan.
Step 3
Stir continuously on a medium-low flame, ensuring the besan roasts evenly. This process will take about 20-25 minutes. The flour will turn a golden color and release a nutty aroma when ready.
Step 4
Add the chopped nuts to the roasting besan and continue to stir for another 5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add cardamom powder, stevia or erythritol, and raisins to the mixture. Mix well to ensure the sweetener and flavorings are evenly distributed.
Step 7
While still warm, but not hot, take small portions of the mix in your hands and roll them into round laddoos. If the mixture feels too dry to shape, add a little more melted ghee, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 8
Place the laddoos on a plate or tray and allow them to cool completely, so the laddoos firm up.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the laddoos in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
