Ingredeints :

• 2 cups gram flour (besan/chickpea flour)
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• ½ tsp cardamom powder
• ¾ -1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
• 15-20 raisins/ cashew pieces

 Method :

 Heat the ghee in a heavy bottom pan. 
 Note : This is the tough and time consuming part, but the taste of the ladoos depends on this step.

Add the gram flour and fry it on a low flame stirring continuously till it releases a warm nutty aroma and the flour turns very light brown. This takes about 35- 45 minutes (or even more).Add more ghee in small quantities if required.Once it is lightly and evenly browned, transfer it to a plate, set aside and let it cool.Add powdered cardamom and sugar and mix well.Shape into ladoos and add chopped almonds (optional) and raisins on each of them.Store in air tight containers.
