Cooking time: 40-45 minutes

Serves: 22 laddus (50 grams each)

Ingredients:

Method:

Add the almonds & cashews into a chopper & make a coarse powder, you don’t have to grind it into a fine powder.
Set a large heavy bottomed kadhai over high flame & add the ghee & let the ghee melt you don’t have to heat it up a lot.
Further lower the flame & add all the besan, stir well & cook over low flame until the ghee separates, keep mashing & breaking the lumps of besan as you cook, the mixture will keep loosening up & start binding further, this process will take upto 25-30 minutes.
Once the ghee separates, add the nuts, cardamom powder, also add the additional ghee gradually using a tablespoon, keep stirring for 2-3 minutes then add the next tablespoon of ghee & cook for 2-3 more minutes over a slightly higher flame until the besan turn brownish in colour.
Then immediately transfer the mixture into a large plate, keep stirring for 2-3 minutes after transferring so that the mixture starts to drop in temperature & doesn’t get darker, let the mixture come to room temperature.
Further add the boora / tagar & mix well, the mixture will come together as the sugar will absorb all the ghee, after mixing let the mixture set for 20-25 more minutes before shaping, then shape the laddus.
Your besan ke laddu are ready, garnish them with pistachio powder.
