Ingredients
- 2 cups Besan (Chickpea Flour)
- 0.5 cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 0.5 cup Almond Flour
- 0.5 cup Powdered Erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped Nuts (Almonds, Cashews)
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
Directions
Step 1
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low flame and add the ghee.
Step 2
Once the ghee is melted, add the besan and start roasting it, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Step 3
Roast the besan for about 15-20 minutes until it becomes fragrant and turns golden brown. The besan should release a nutty aroma.
Step 4
Add almond flour to the roasted besan and continue to stir for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add powdered erythritol and cardamom powder, and mix until well combined.
Step 7
Mix in the chopped nuts and raisins.
Step 8
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, take small portions and shape them into round balls, pressing firmly to bind.
Step 9
Let the ladoos cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
Step 10
Store the sugar-free besan ladoos in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
