Besan Ladoo Recipe with step by step photos. Besan ladoos is a famous dessert made from semolina and chickpea flour during Diwali! One of the most popular and favorite sweet of many people. I have earlier posted besan ladoo recipe but this one is made with the addition of semolina (rava).

I am thankful to Vishakha for sharing this recipe with me. She made this while I clicked the pics. Had tasted these sweet balls last Diwali at her place and fell instantly in love with them. Also, this is her mother-in-laws recipes which is passed on to her. May be that’s why the taste and recipe of this ladoo is so unique and tastes delicious.

This recipe for besan rava ladoo takes a longer time to prepare then the normal ones. However, the outcome is great tasting ladoos. So it’s worth the perseverance and effort 😉

The secret for making any ladoos are just roast the lentils, rava before making ladoos. This process help’s imparting a great flavor, color and taste to your ladoos. In India there are many popular ladoos like rava ladoo, boondi ladoo, besan ladoo, nachni ladoo, coconut ladoo, til ladoo and aliv ladoo.

Preferably add ghee (clarified butter) to your ladoos. Ghee always gives a great flavor and taste to the traditional ladoos which oil won’t. Also adding dry fruits is optional I have added them to this recipe.
