This is a famous besan laddu recipe which people prepares on festival times and also in ocassion times in india..Fresh besan flour and fresh ghee are the main ingredients in the recipe and using powered suagr gives a nice soft look and taste..If you want can add granulated sugar instead of blending..It is a very simple sweet which can prepare with only 5 ingredients..But roasting flour is the important step in the making of the recipe,otherwise it may get burnt from bottom..When I decided to prepare this laddus i was so tensed about the shape,but luckily successed.See..the pics...how cute they looking....DH was surprised when I said that was prepared by me..Hahahhhaa
