I thought of trying besan ladoo, my daughter's favourite for the 1st time in microwave. Also, I wanted it for prasad, being Navaratri festival now.
Ingredients
ghee 1 tbsp
besan 1 cup
jaggery pdr 1/4 cup or so
cashew nuts 1 tbsp
cardamom pdr 1/4 tsp
Method
In a microwave safe pan, I added ghee which was melted, added besan and chopped cashew nuts , mixed it very well, avoiding any lumps.
Microwave high for 1 1/2 minutes 90 seconds
Removed, mixed it well
Kept for a minute in high power
Removed mixed well
Kept for another 30 seconds
Repeated the process once more
As I got a nice roasted aroma, I added the little jaggery powder and cardamom pdr ,mixed it all well, soon after taking it off the microwave. I thought the jaggery may melt, NO, it was perfect to mix it well.
Still quite warm made some mini ladoos, as it easy to pop one to your mouth, as bigger means people try breaking and make the crumbs fall all over, which I never liked.
At the right time, my physio came, she loves sweets, she took one, then was trying to find the cause of my foot pain. Then I offered her more, then gave her 4 more to take home to her hubby and MIL. I ate one. So, in all, I got 16 ladoos , not bad.
