Few Tips to Make the Best Besan Khoya Laddu:
- Always roast the flame over a low flame and make sure you use a heavy bottomed pan to prevent burning.
- Do not add sugar powder when the roasted besan mixture is too hot.
- Do not add sugar powder when the mixture is cooled down completely.
- If you are not able to shape the laddus, add some warm ghee to the mixture and shape.
- Use fresh cardamom pods for the best flavor.
- You can also combine the laddu mixture with ghee roasted nuts for the crunch.
