Khoya Besan ladoo is a traditional and delicious Indian sweet dish made with unsweetened khoya / mawa, gram flour, sugar, cardamom and nuts. This besan ladoo recipe is so quick to make and perfect for festivals, parties or any occasion. I have used homemade khoya in this recipe. You can also use the store-bought one.

Few Tips to Make the Best Besan Khoya Laddu:

1. Always roast the flame over a low flame and make sure you use a heavy bottomed pan to prevent burning.
2. Do not add sugar powder when the roasted besan mixture is too hot.
3. Do not add sugar powder when the mixture is cooled down completely.
4. If you are not able to shape the laddus, add some warm ghee to the mixture and shape.
5. Use fresh cardamom pods for the best flavor.
6. You can also combine the laddu mixture with ghee roasted nuts for the crunch.
