Besan Ladoo

2.5 cups Besan
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cup ghee
6 elaichis

Roast besan carefully till aromatic and golden/light brown. Take care to not let it burn. To prevent lumps , sieve the besan before and once amidst roasting to ensure even roasting. Add the ghee and roast some more. Powder the sugar with skinned elaichis. When adding to besan add it through a sieve to prevent lumps. Mix everything well and roll into balls
Optional: As decoration, A cashew / almond sliver can be added on top for decoration
Alternatively,
Heat ghee in thick bottom pan and roast the besan for 15 min. Transfer it out in a different pan (to stop the besan heating further). Add castor sugar. Add the roasted dry fruits (if adding) at this stage and mix well. Quickly make balls while the mixture is still hot.
