When the color has changed you will also start to smell the sweetness of roasted besan. This should take about 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the besan cool to a warm temperature. don’t let it become to room temperature.
While the mixture is warm add and mix cardamom seeds, almonds, and sugar.
To make the ladoos, take about 2 tablespoons of warm besan mixture into your palm. Gently press the mixture between your palms to form a smooth, round ball. The ladoos are usually about the size of a tennis ball.
Put ladoos back on the plate with the pistachio on the top.
