5 Minute Besan Ladoo in Microwave

 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.

Besan Ladoo

 INGREDIENTS

¾ cup ghee

2 cup besan / gram flour

2 tbsp rava/ semolina, coarse

2 tbsp water

1 cup powdered sugar

½ tsp cardamom powder

2 tbsp pumpkin seeds

 

METHOD

In a kadai pan heat ¾ cup ghee and add 2 cup besan.

Cook until the besan absorbs all the ghee.

Add 2 tbsp rava and continue to roast till the besan turns aromatic.

Keep roasting on low flame till the ghee releases from the sides and turns golden brown.

Sprinkle 2 tbsp water and mix well. This helps the besan and rava to turn grainy texture.

Cook till the mixture turns aromatic.

Transfer to the plate and cool completely.

Once the besan mixture is cooled, add 1 cup powdered sugar, ½ tsp cardamom powder and mix well.

Also, add 2 tbsp of roasted pumpkin seeds and mix well.

Shape the ladoo and garnish it with pistachios.

Recipe tastes great for a week.
