Ingredients

Portions

• 200 g of chickpea flour (besan)

• 100g of ghee ( clarified butter)

• 150 g of caster sugar

• 1 tsp of ground cardamom

• 1 tbsp chopped cashew nuts (optional)

Preparation

1. Roasting the chickpea flour: In a pan, heat the ghee over low heat. Add the chickpea flour and roast it slowly, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown and gives off a toasted aroma (about 10 minutes).
2. Adding the sweet ingredients: Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the powdered sugar and cardamom. Mix well to form a smooth paste. If using cashews, add them now.
3. Shaping the Ladoo: Once the mixture has cooled enough to handle, form small balls by pressing the mixture between your palms. Let the Ladoo rest until they harden.
