Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Raisins

   Heat 1-2 teaspoons of ghee in a pan. Once hot, add the raisins and fry them until they puff up slightly. Remove the fried raisins and set them aside.

2. 2.Roast Besan

   In the same pan with the remaining ghee, add the 2 cups of besan. Begin frying the besan on low to medium heat. Gradually add the rest of the ghee, little by little, as you continue to fry. Stir continuously until the besan turns light brown and releases a fragrant aroma. This process should take about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the gas.

3. 3.Cool the Mixture

   Allow the fried besan mixture to cool down slightly. It should still be warm but not hot to the touch. This helps in mixing the sugar powder effectively.

4. 4.Mix with Sugar Powder

   Once the besan mixture is slightly warm, add the 1.5 cups of powdered sugar (which was mixed with cardamom pods) to the pan. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar is fully incorporated and a dough-like consistency is formed.

5. 5.Form Ladoos

   Take small portions of the mixture and gently roll them between your palms to form smooth, round ladoos. You can press a fried raisin into the center or on top of each ladoo for garnish. The ladoos will firm up further as they cool completely.
