Besan Laddu

Ingredients:

Gram Dal Powder/Besan/Kadalai Maavu - 2 1/2 cup
Sugar powder - 2 1/2 cup
Ghee - 1 cup 
Powdered cardamom - 2 tsp
Cashewnuts - 5-10, roughly chopped

Method:

Heat the Ghee in a kadai/heavy bottomed vessel, & then slowly add Besan.
Fry the besan until the raw smell disappears & turn it into golden brown. (one important note is you have to stir the besan continously, otherwise the besan in the bottom of the kadai will be burnt and it'll become dark brown in color. To avoid that you have to stir the besan continously).
Once the besan is fried, then nice aroma will come from that.
At this stage turn off the stove & after one min. add the sugar powder into the besan.
Also add cardamom powder & broken cashew nuts into the mixture.
Now let it cool for few mins.
When it's warm enough to handle, make small lime size balls/laddus and let them cool.
Besan laddu is ready & store it in an air tight container in the room temperature.

Note:
You can use Badam/Pista instead of Cashew nuts.
