Ladoo is a very popular Indian dessert that is made with puré ghee on special occasions.The mention of ladoo can be found in ancient Indian scriptures like Rigveda. This Badam & Besan Ladoo recipe is one such recipe that has goodness of almonds also along with protein rich besan flour.

I have used almonds which are roasted in slow and dry heat and grounded for more flavour and texture. The best part about making this Ladoo is that it will fill your entire home with welcome aroma!!

Note:

  1. It is best to use coarse gram flour for Badam & Besan Ladoo Recipe as it gives it a better texture but if you aren't able to find it, you can add a small amount of semolina to do the trick.
  2. Trying to cool the prepared besan ladoo mixture either in fridge or a bath of cold water does not work well as it yields hard ladoos with off taste. Only resort is to wait.
  3. During the final step, You can also add some fennel seeds because that makes the Badam Besan ladoos more fragrant and easy to digest.
