Besan Bura Ladoo

This Ladoo is very nutritious, tasty and healthy. This laddu is more crispier compared to other typical besan Ladoos, due to the use of bura shakkar for making of these.

Ingredients (will make 12-15 laddoos)

Gram flour [चन्या पीठ] 1 cup

Sugar [शाक्कर] 1 cup

Water [उदका] 1 cup
Cardamom Powder [य्याला]  1/4 tea spn
melted Ghee (तुपा)1/2 cup

Cloves [लवंगा] 4-5

Method:

The process of making besan bura ladoos is in two steps : Making bhura sugar and then forming Ladoos of it.

In a heavy bottom pan (कडाई), add sugar and water and heat it in a low flame. Stir it constantly. Turn off the heat when you find sugar syrup is getting thicker and crust has started forming on the edge. Continue with the stirring in the same kadayi till all sugar is converted into solid crystalline / crusty form. Use a masher (रावी) and stirrer (चालनी) to grain the sugar. The sugar formed with this this process is called bura sugar. If need arises, this bura sugar can be stored for as long as 6 months.

The sugar is then fine grained



Now we begin with actual ladoo making process. Pour the ghee in Kadayi, add cloves, heat for a while so that the ghee boils for a short while. Then add besan and stir continuously in low flame (for about 10-15 min), till you can smell the ghee. Switch off the heat, add cardamom powder and stir for a while .

Allow for the mixture to cool down for (10 minutes). Then add bura sugar to this besan-ghee mixture and form laddu by taking sufficient quantity of this combined mixture  into  hand.
