Coming back to this recipe, this is the traditional north Indian way of making besan ladoo. But before we begin, let's make a note of few things.
- Variety of chickpea flour - Always use coarse gram flour for besan ladoo recipe. It gives the best texture.
- Quantity of ingredients - In this recipe you can not play with ingredients quantity. Measure and use quantities as written below. If you wish to make more ladoo, increase quantity of each ingredient in the right ratio.
- Roasting besan - roasting is the base of this recipe, so don't be impatient. A little rush can make the whole thing fall apart.
- Type of sugar - I would recommend to use tagar sugar instead of powdered sugar. It can be bought in Indian groceries shop. But you can easily make tagar or boora sugar in 10 minutes at home. Watch video here. For written post you can look at this post Tagar or boora sugar.
- Forming ladoo - Ladoo should be formed well but if in any case you find mixture is becoming dry sprinkle ½ tsp of milk and then try again.
- Watch video before trying it because it gives a clear idea of texture and process of how they are being made.
