Step-by-step

  • Chop cashews and almonds in small chunks and peel the cardamom and prepare a powder.
  • Roast chickpea flour and wheat flour in a pan or wok with some ghee until they become little brown in color and aromatic. Keep stirring constantly to prevent the flour from sticking at the base.
  • Turn off the flame and transfer the mixture to another bowl and allow it to cool down a little.
  • Heat some ghee in a pan or wok and roast edible gum. Keep the flame low and roast the edible gum until it gets puffy and slightly brown in color. Transfer it to another plate.
  • In the same wok, add dry fruits and roast until little brown.
  • Mix roasted edible gum and dry fruits to the roasted flour and blend everything nicely.
  • Let the mixture cool down a little and then add powdered sugar to it, followed by green cardamom powder.
  • Give the mixture a nice stir so that everything blends together.
  • Take some amount of mixture and bind it into ladoo with the help of your both hands.
  • Place the ladoo over a plate and repeat the process until the entire mixture is utilized.
  • Serve these amazing wheat-besan ladoos anytime of the day or after your meals.
  • Store the cooled down ladoos in an airtight container and relish eating them for almost 4-5 months.
