Sharu's Fundas: No huss-fuss Besan Ladoo !!!

                  How about traditional Besan ladoos but without much effort in it & very quick ? Yes Yes You read it right !!

                  Making besan ladoo is a lot of effort if making in a pan. You have to stir it continuously or else it sticks to the bottom of the pan. But how about if you are making it in microwave ? No need to stir it continuously. Also gram flour gets roasted in just 5 minutes if done in microwave or else you have to spend 30 minutes if making in a pan. Also microwave safe bowls get cleaned easily unlike pans.

                   Thinking about this way is already relaxing, isn't it ? So why not give it a try !!!

Ingredients:

Gram Flour (Coarse Powder) - 1 & 1/2 cup

Sugar powder - 1/2 cup

Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

Almonds Cashewnuts (chopped in small pieces) - 1 tbsp.

salt a pinch

Ghee 4 tbsp.

Method:

Take a microwave safe bowl. Add ghee to it. Microwave it for 30 seconds.

Remove the bowl.

Add coarse gram flour to it. Stir well.

Microwave it for 1 minute.

Remove the bowl. Stir. Again Microwave it for 1 minute.

Remove the bowl again. Add chopped almonds & cashewnuts, cardamom powder & salt to the bowl.

Now again microwave it for 1 minute.

You will now smell the aroma of roasted gram flour.

Remove the bowl again & Stir the mixture.

Microwave it for 20 seconds the last time.

Remove the bowl & stir. Remove the mixture in a plate & let it cool.

So in total the mixture is microwaved for 3 minutes 20 seconds.

Once the mixture cools down, add sugar powder to it. Stir the mixture well with your hands. Remember to break the lumps of sugar powder with your fingers.

Take little mixture from it & form a round ball out of it. Garnish it with a nut of your choice like raisin or pistachio or cashewnut.

Tips:

Use coarse variety of gram flour. If not available, & you are using fine variety, add 1 tsp of semolina along with gram flour. I do so since I get fine variety of gram flour here. It gives a nice coarse texture to besan ladoo.
