Maladu or roasted gram ladoo Malai ladoo Rava ladoo Besan ladoo Coconut ladoo Wheat ladoo Prep Time : 10 mins Cook Time :  25 mins Yield : 12 ladoos INGREDIENTS Besan/gram flour – 1/2 cup Sugar – 1/2 cup Khoya/mawa – 1/2 cup (crumbled) Ghee – 2 tablespoons Cardamom powder – 1/4 teaspoon Cashewnuts and raisins for garnishing HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE BESAN LADOO WITH KHOYA/MAWA RECIPE PREPARATION Grind the sugar to a fine powder and keep it aside.  Sieve the besan through a fine sieve and set it aside. METHOD Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee and add the besan.  Cook the besan on low flame, by stirring continuously, till you get a nice aroma and the raw smell goes away.  This will take about 5-6 minutes.  Ensure that the besan is not burned. Once the besan is well cooked, add the crumbled khoya and mix well.  Cook on a low flame for 30 seconds and switch off the flame. Once the mixture is cooled down or comes to room temperature, add the powdered sugar and cardamom powder and mix well. Add more ghee at this stage, if you want shiny ladoos.  Make small or medium sized ladoos from the mixture.  Store in an airtight container. Delicious besan ladoos are ready to be served. NOTES/TIPS If the besan mixture is too dry, add little ghee and then shape into ladoos.  If the mixture is too soft,  keep it in the fridge for half an hour.  The ghee will solidify a bit and then you can make the ladoos. Ensure to roast the besan till the raw smell of the flour goes away and colour changes to golden brown. Khoya gives a rich taste and a soft look to the ladoos.  But you can also prepare these ladoos without khoya, with the same recipe.
