Ingredients

  • 2 cup Gram flour/chickpea flour
  • ¼ cup + 1 tbsp Ghee (Clarified butter)
  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar (per taste)
  • ½ cup Jaggery Powder (per taste)
  • ¼ cup Flax Meal
  • ½ cup Coconut Powder
  • 2 tbsp Almond Meal
  • 2 tbsp Cashews (Cut)
  • 1 tsp Cardamom Powder

  • ½ tsp Blue Spirulina Powder (optional)
  • Dried Rose Petals (Garnish)

Instructions

  • In a flat large pan, add ghee on low to medium heat
  • After the ghee is hot, add the cashews, roast for a few mins on low-medium.
  • Then add besan and roast until golden brown(keep the flame on low to medium).
  • Keep stirring for at least 20/25 mins. Make sure it does not stick or burn. If you burn it, your ladoos will have a slightly bitter taste.
  • The mix will start to give off a nice aroma
  • Then add the flax meal and mix well and stir for a few mins
  • Add the Almond meal next and mix well and stir again for a few mins.
  • Turn the heat off and remove it from the stovetop.
  • Add the sugar, jaggery powder, and Cardamom powder and mix well
  • Let it sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes (make sure the mix does not get too cold or it will be hard to roll).
  • Take small amounts and roll in your hands, the ghee in the ladoos will help bind them.
