- Roast the gram flour on medium heat and stir continuously until it begins to release ghee and a nutty aroma, as mentioned in the Besan Ladoo recipe.
- The besan is ready when it turns golden and releases a nutty aroma. Avoid over-roasting to prevent bitterness.

- Taste the mixture before shaping the Besan Ladoos to adjust the sweetness to your preference.
- Lightly grease your hands with ghee while shaping the Besan Ladoos to prevent sticking.
FAQs for Besan Ladoo Recipe
1. Can I use fine besan instead of coarse besan in my Besan Ladoo recipe?
Yes, you can use fine besan instead of coarse besan in your Besan Ladoo recipe, but it may create a smoother texture that can affect the final consistency.
2. Why are my Besan Ladoos sticky?
If your Besan Ladoos are sticky, you may have added too much ghee when the roasted gram flour was still hot. To fix this, you can either refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes or add more besan or powdered nuts and roast it for a bit longer. This will help prevent your Besan Ladoos from becoming sticky.
3. Why is my Besan Ladoo bitter?
Besan Ladoo can become bitter if the gram flour (besan) is roasted too much. To avoid this, roast it over a gentle, medium flame while stirring continuously until it turns golden and aromatic (but not brown) to prevent a burnt taste.
4. What to do if my Besan Laddu is not binding?
If your Besan Ladoo isn’t binding properly, you can improve the consistency by adding more MILKMAID. Gradually mix in small amounts while stirring continuously. This will help bind the ingredients and create a smoother texture.
5. Can I make Besan Ladoos if I have allergies to nuts?
You can skip the nuts in the Besan Laddu recipe or substitute them with pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Additionally, you can add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for extra sweetness and texture.
Make sure to adjust the Besan Laddu recipe and cooking process according to personal preferences, dietary restrictions, and allergies.
6. How do I store Homemade Besan Laddus?
Store your Besan Ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
