Semolina (Suji/Rawa): 30gms

Ghee (Clarified Butter): 90gms

Castor Sugar: 60gms

Chopped Almonds and Raisins: 1/2 Cup

Cardamom Powder: 1/2 tsp

 

Method:

•  Heat the ghee in a karahi.
• Add the besan and suji and fry on low heat. Keep stirring so that no lumps form. Continue to fry till lightly browned. A little water splashed on it should make a sizzling sound.
• Remove from fire and let it cool.
• Add the Castor sugar, chopped nuts, cardamom powder and mix well.
• Moisten your hands with water and form round ladoos of equal size.

 

 

Secret Tip:

• For Atta- Besan Ladoo substitute 75gms Whole Wheat Flour (Atta) for 75gms besan. Fry each separately in 45gms ghee. Mix them and proceed as above.
• For a yellow color add a big pinch of Turmeric (Haldi powder) after removing from fire.
• To garnish stick a roasted cashew nut on top of each ladoo.
