Besan Laddoo Garbanzo Bean Flour Balls

1. 1

   Place flour into a large nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.

2. 2

   Using a wooden spatula/spoon, continuously stir flour around the insides of pan so each grain cooks through and reaches a light amber (not dark brown), giving off a real nutty scent, approximately 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in sugar. Mix together with the cooked flour for a minute. Take off heat. Add cardamom powder and mix all ingredients well.

4. 4

   Add 1/4 cup ghee, stir to combine, adding in more up to triple the amount until the ingredients are moistened and bind well without being greasy.

5. 5

   Wait until besan mixture is cooled and roll into 1/2- to 1-inch balls. Garnish with either crushed or whole pistachios, cashews, almonds.

6. 6

   Recipe adapted from Turmeric N' Spice.
