By submitting this form, you consent to receive emails from Minstry of Curry Today, I’m sharing with you our family recipe to make perfectly soft and delicious Marathi besan ladoos that are finger-licking good and super easy to make. I promise they will fly off your pantry shelf as soon as you have made them and your kids will love you for packing this treat into their lunch boxes. So go on, give them a try! Besan is available as coarse and finely ground in Indian grocery stores. Traditional Maharashtrian Besan Ladoo that I grew up eating is made with superfine gram flour. I use Swad superfine gram flour and the package also refers to it as chickpea flour. So if you end up buying besan from Indian groceries, it most likely will be labeled as gram flour/chickpea flour. Besan is also sold as coarse flour and the ladoos made with it also taste equally delicious. The besan and ghee must be slow-roasted over low heat stirring constantly until it gets light and fluffy, golden brown, and aromatic. The timings in the recipe are for 1 cup of besan flour. It takes 25 minutes to roast 1 cup of besan, 35 minutes for 2 cups, and 45 minutes for 3 cups of besan. The more the quantity, the roasting time will increase.
