Instructions

First grind the sugar with cardomons(elaichi) and keep it separate. Roast besan with ghee(adding little by little) in a sim flame (remember otherwise besan will burn) ,while roasting small small lumps form just mash with spoon and roast till nice aroma comes and the colour will also be changed then switch off the gas ,after few minutes add the grounded sugar with roasted gramflour and mix thoroughly,still warm make ladoos of it.

Notes

If the flour is fresh grinded ,it can be little coarse no need of fine powder. the taste comes out very well. If not too sweet needed can take 3/4th cup of sugar.

Hi jas, I dont understand

Hi jas,
I dont understand where it went wrong, I prepared with same measurement and the result u can see in th picture. Regarding ghee half cup is more ,bcoz first I took half cup little by little only i added when good aroma started coming i stopped adding ghee,as I THOUGHT if more added it will burn,so in ingre also i mentioned less than half cup
Actually besan is a good binding agent,anyway milk added also no problem bcoz like rava ladoo i add milk to form ladoo.
Thank you jas for ur valuble comments it makes me to improve my cooking. Try other recipes and give ur suggestions

Hai latha,
I went thro' this receipe and tried it at home. It did'nt turn out good. I could'nt make the ladoos's as the sugar and ghee content is not right i guess. So finally, i added some milk to it and made ladoos. Anyways, thanks alot for this dish. All the best!

regs,
jas.
