Halwai Style Daanedaar Besan ke Laddoo | Besan ke Laddu Recipe

Besan ke Laddoo is one of the quintessential Diwali sweets or mithai recipes definitely made at our home. Though, these laddoos are made in different styles, sometimes adding sooji and nuts to them, however, the way I like them the best is how the halwais make them - perfect daanedaar made with just three ingredients - besan, ghee and sugar. And trust me, they are an absolute delight, which instantly transport you to a food heaven. So, if you too are a lover of those perfect halwai style daanedaar besan ke laddoo, then this recipe is just for your sorts. Do try them out and I assure, you're gonna love them.

Just a few tips before you jump on to the recipe, make sure you use the mota besan aka the coarsely ground gram flour. Essentially, the mota besan is the key to getting that daanedaar texture. Next, never go for the powdered sugar in these laddoos. Always use the boora shakkar/ sugar. And lastly, just when the besan is nicely roasted, sprinkle a few drops of water and stir continuously for about a minute. This step is also a must for attaining the right texture. Follow these tips and I promise, you will get the perfect besan ke laddoo.

METHOD

  • In a kadai, add 1/2 cup of ghee. Let it get heated on medium flame.
  • Switch the flame to lowest and add the coarsely ground besan. For halwai style besan laddoo, always use coarsely ground besan or mota besan.
  • Stirring it continuously, cook the besan till it gets nice aromatic and golden in color. Once the besan starts roasting you will also feel that it also starts getting lighter and frothier in texture. Just in case, it doesn't get lighter, add in about 2 tbsp of more ghee and keep roasting on low flame.
  • Once the besan is well roasted, sprinkle a little water and cook for 2 more minutes until golden in color and nicely aromatic. Switch off the heat and transfer the mixture to a plate.
  • Let it cool down just to a temperature that you can easily touch it with your bare hands.
  • Now add the boora sugar to it along with cardamom powder. Mix it in nicely.
  • Pinch out equal size balls and shape into laddoos.
  • These laddoos are super delicious and can stored in air tight container at room temperature for about a month.
