Bandaru Laddu

Wishing all my friends and readers, a Happy and Joyous New Year!!



Along with this, I have some special news to announce and that is .. We are expecting a baby in May (our first one)!! And we are so thrilled to bring this news to you. We have sent number of cards to all our well wishers and friends about this on this New Year and seeing their responses made our day terrific.
On this occasion, I bring you a dessert, which most of us cherish. I think it should be called Besan Laddu instead of Bandaru Laddu, but I got this recipe from a TV channel, E-Tv and the chef named it as Bandaru Laddu. The procedure for Bandaru Laddu is elaborate and demands a lot of time and attention, but this can be done in less than 30 mins. So, this is not an authentic Bandaru Laddu recipe instead a twisted one. The taste was close to Bandaru Laddu though. 2 cups Besan/Gram Flour 3T ghee 1 cup sugar 1t cardammon powder 1/2 cup milk
Heat ghee and fry Besan until golden brown.
Add sugar, cardammon powder and mix.
Add 1/2 cup warm milk and mix.
The whole mixture leaves the sides of the pan and the whole mixture becomes a ball.
Mix for a minute or two and remove.
Make laddus and let them cool down.
To decorate, garnish with dry fruits of your choice.
