5 Minute Besan Laddoos
- 1 cup besan (gram flour or chickpea flour)
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sold in Bombay during festival times as 'Pithi Saakhar')
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 10 halves of cashew nuts fried in a little ghee for decoration
- In a large microwave safe bowl, mix the besan and ghee.
- Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes stirring well every one minute.
- increase 2 more min if your machine power is low.
- Once the flour seems slightly darker in colour and richly aromatic, remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- This will take up to half an hour.
- Once cooled, add 1/2 cup powdered sugar NOT icing sugar, with cardamom powder into the roasted flour.
- Knead well to mix and shape into 10 balls pressing a slice of fried cashew on top.
- These will harden as they cool.
- Store in airtight container.
