Besan ladoo recipe in Microwave – how to make besan ladoo in microwave (microwave recipes)

Besan ladoo is a very popular and delicious Indian dessert made with gram flour, sugar, ghee and nuts and is  made especially during festive and special occasions.  Microwave besan ladoo recipe is a quick version of besan ladoo which can be prepared in less than 30 minutes.  Traditionally, for making besan ladoos, gram flour or besan is roasted in ghee on a gas stove, till it exudes a nice aroma and turns slightly dark brown in colour.  But in this recipe, besan is mixed with ghee and then set on high power in microwave for few minutes till nicely roasted and then mixed with sugar and nuts.  If you want to make instant besan ladoos, you can try making it in microwave which is not only convenient and quick, but also gives the same taste to the ladoos.

NOTES/TIPS

Adjust the sugar according to the sweetness required by you.

If the mixture has dried up, add little ghee and then start making ladoos.  Ghee helps in binding the mixture to make ladoos.

You can also roast the nuts and raisins in ghee and then add to the mixture.

Ensure not to over roast the mixture in the microwave.

If the roasted besan-ghee mixture is little moist, you can refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes and then make ladoos.
