Recipe SourceSouth Indian Recipes


Ingredients
Besan flour 1 1/2 cup(refer notes)
Sugar 1 cup(refer notes)
Cardamom powder 1 tsp
Raisins 2 tbsp
Ghee 4 tbsp+ 1tbsp
Milk 2 tbsp(refer notes)


Method-
-Add 2 tbsp of ghee to the besan flour and mix well.Microwave on high for 3 minutes.Give a stir after each minute.
-Then add 2 tbsp of ghee again and microwave for another 2 minutes giving a stir after each minute.It gives a nice aroma and don't over do it,just that it changes color slightly.
-Take another bowl ,put the raisins and add ghee(1 tbsp) and then microwave for 45 seconds -1 minute.(The raisins puffs up and turns golden brown.
-Mix the cardamom powder ,raisins and sugar.Give a quick toss.
-Cool slightly & start shaping them once you can handle it.Add milk if required,that is if it doesn't hold shape.
-Make laddus and serve !!


Servings ~ 12 laddus

NOTES
* I have used the besan laddu flour.Its slightly coarse than the fine besan flour.
* You can omit the milk and add ghee to in place of milk.
* Keep a watch on the raisins from 45 seconds.Don't micrwave more than a minute as it gets harder after that.
* The sugar available here is less granulated compared to the Indian supply.If you are trying this in India its better to powder or ground coarse and then add.
