If I have something on the back of my mind, I HAVE to sort it out somehow! And one such thing was my relationship with besan! Seriously, I could never get along with it somehow!
I had tried many times in the past to make good friends with them but they always turned out to be a bitter experience! Have tried making ladoo's , mysore pak (Aparna, I am still sorry for that rude comment! ) etc. Everything failed !
My best friend from college Vasu, always used to get these ladoo's from her home in Allahabad. And I was the one who used to finish it for her. I have always asked her to get me the proportion but she always said her mom eyeballs the amount of ingredients used in it. So I decided to eyeball it myself one day! There are no prices for guessing where it all went into in the end! It was so bitter, besan was uncooked and I wasted my precious ghee! Ghee, butter,fresh cream & chocolates are something I am terrified of going waste!

But this time around, I was sure that I will get it right because Hetal & Anuja are so good with their recipes and instructions.And I have always found sucess with their recipes I had tried out so far ( Kaju Burfi, Reshmi Kababs) I would advise you to see their video for this recipe to get that small tip which helped me find my sucess!

Hey Ria,
Any idea as to why the laddoo tasted soooo bitter??Please help...
Hello Anon- Thanks for trying! And I am really sorry that it didn't turn out good at all!
Besan is a tricky flour to me. If it is not roasted properly, it will have that odd (raw) taste.Was it the raw taste that you mentioned as bitter? If it's not that...I think the besan that you tried out with might have been spoilt.
If you are having a doubt about whether you have roasted the besan enough, just sprinkle few drops of water into it and if it sizzles right away , then it is done. If not, roast more. You will have your house filled with a beautiful aroma when it is done.
Any more questions, kindly ask! :)
Thanks for ur response Ria...Will try again next week..And did i tell i just loooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvve your blog...Take care

Amiable fill someone in on and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you as your information.
Hi Ria. I tried this one and it was simply superb. The texture of besan in the mouth was great. However I feel the sugar should have been coarsely ground as I got a slight crunchy texture to the laddoos. Also slightly lesser ghee for a calorie conscious like me I feel will taste equally good, although I put as much as the recipe called for this time. Thank you once again.
