Sweet Besan Ladoo with Nuts and Dates

1In a large pan, melt the butter (½ cup) over low heat until fully melted.

2Add the besan to the melted butter (½ cup) and stir continuously to roast the flour. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the besan turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.

3Once the besan is roasted, add the sugar (1 cup) and grated jaggery to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

4Continue to cook the mixture on low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar (1 cup) and jaggery dissolve completely, about 5 minutes.

5Add the chopped nuts and dates to the mixture, stirring well to ensure they are evenly distributed.

6Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly until it is manageable to handle.

7Grease your hands with a little butter (½ cup) and take small portions of the mixture to shape into round balls (ladoo).

8Place the formed ladoos on a plate lined with parchment paper to cool completely.

9Once cooled, serve the sweet besan ladoos as a delightful treat or store them in an airtight container.
