What are Besan Ladoos?
Besan Ladoos are a traditional Indian Mithai (sweet) made with Chickpea Flour, Ghee, Cardamom, and Sugar. These are super simple and quick to make. And guess what, they are packed with protein. The beautifully roasted chickpea flour in ghee renders a delicious nutty taste and the sweet notes from cardamom bring a very earthy taste to these.
Why Chocolate Besan Ladoos?
For once, I felt this time that I should brainstorm something simple but a fusion recipe. Just hoping on the fusion recipe bandwagon here, which is loved by so much all. Chocolate and Besan Ladoos are two of my most loved sweets, so I thought of bringing them together. They taste absolutely delicious. So fudgy and nutty. Gosh, if you are reading this, you definitely have to give this recipe a try.
Ingredients to Make These Chocolate Besan Ladoos?
Besan - You will need a good quality besan. I use Laxmi Brand besan that is available at any Indian Store. As the besan is very lumpy we will sift it before using. Cocoa Powder - It is very important to use a very good quality cocoa powder for this recipe. I highly recommend Guitard Cocoa Powder. Ghee - Make sure you use melted ghee as per the measurements given. Add more ghee if the mix doesn’t losen up. Confectioners/ Icing Sugar - We will be using confectioners Sugar for this recipe as it mixes really well with the ladoos. If you don’t have confectioners sugar, Grind ½ Cup of Castor Sugar into a fine powder and sift it to remove any big pieces. Cardamom Powder - I make Cardamom Powder at home using the green cardamom seeds. But you can also use any store bought cardamom powder. I love the Morton and Bassett brand for cardamom powder, it smells fresh and has a very long shelf life. Crushed Pistachios and Edible Golden Leaf - For Garnishing.
