[susucadey]

[nehaluv2010]

hello aunty u r great... aapka explaining ka trika best hai... thnk u so mch for recipe.........

[PriyankaElf]

Sadly, mine one turned out to be very loose, and also for some reason sugar didn't melt at all. It looks really delicious on the video, but it turned out really bad for me. Not sure what I did wrong :/

[n18rayah]

Dear Manjula ji, i've been looking for besan ki laddoo's recipe and finally your one seems perfect to me :)) i'll try it soon. You do a great job creating these cooking videos. Thank you very very much.

[keertiladwal]

manjula aunty u r a great teacher luv the way u teach every one.!!

great fan of urs...

[jamieocs]

Hello Manjula,

ive have been searching for some indian sweets recipes and came across your videos on youtube, i look forward to starting to make them. I have never done them before and will tr my best, your videos are ideal :)

[RB3132]

Hello Khala, do we need to use finely ground semolina or roughly ground? Thanks :D

[Tulujevu]

Thanks so much for posting authentic recipes. One question though, why is that the video calls 4 tablespoons of sooji while the website link for the recipe states 2 tablespoons? Can we use either or is one wrong?

[bitsforfree]

Hi manjula thank u so much for u r recepei, i knew how to make the laddo, but i had some doubts which are clear now, well i have a ? for u, i need to make the laddos and send it to my aunt who is in another state, its a 3 days journey so are there any precaustion to be taken, as such, are there are preservaties to be added in this recipie, so it does,nt spoil and will be there for atleast two to three weeks.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@bitsforfree

they will be fine 10 days or more.

[Snowleopardsgaze]

@Manjulaskitchen

Namaste!

Last for 10 days...ha, not at my house, 10 mins maybe (giggle). I just now saw the recipe from you, auntie and decided to go make some right away. Oh, my how wonderful they are. Your recipe is just perfect! I too had some trouble getting the laddoos to hold for me, but not problem, just wet your hands well and you are good to go! Thanks for all your fabulous recipes and helping me to feed my family healthfully.

Namaste Aunty, I made besan ladoo but I am not able to make ladoo with the batter because it is very loose. Where did i go wrong? Was sooji less?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@Kirtimandal

May be you added te sugar when Besan was still too hot or used too much butter.

[angelstar289100]

Shashank

[jawad384]

Should we keep basen ladoods in the fridge or stote them in airtight containers at room temperature ?

[aucksvtech]

hello aunty i tryed making them but they came out runny =( was this because i used fine basen rather then coarse??

[farrukhj]

awesome Manjula, thank you for this recipe. Love it. God bless you. You are the best!!!

[DarshanGupta1]

Nice recipe,well done,by using melted butter the taste was not so good,whether pure ghee/desi ghee can be used.

Aunty i faced exact problem with abcekta (third post) and then tried searching for solution on your website as stated but couldnt find it...Aunty could you please give me a solution. I can neither throw it nor can i finish it as i am pregnant. I thought of adding an essence to suppress the raw besan taste.

[kareenaklemons]

hi Aunty i want to know what the besan Mean in English

plzzz tel me

thank you

[Manjulaskitchen]

Basen is Black gram flour after removing the skin of black gram, you can find this in any indian grocery store.

[zairt]

@Manjulaskitchen Is besan black gram flour.../is it same as chickpeas flour please clear my confusion

[ArgoSG]

@Manjulaskitchen I thought besan was Chana flour? bengal gram flour?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ArgoSG

yes besan is chana gram flour.

[anchaldimri]

@ArgoSG it is bengal gram flour

[flamingburritos]

@kareenaklemons besan or gram is also chickpeas or garbanzo beans

[connectingminds]

thank you so much!!

[hamzinidu]

great receipe i will try it thanks

[umebilal]

hi Aunty ji

I m very big fan of urs

can u make the ladoo from wheat flour i like that very much but i dont know how to make

thank u for wonderful recipes

[Manjulaskitchen]

In my list of things to do

[vanithagowtam]

your method of doing BESAN LADDU is really gr8....thanks a lot...

[harbourefan]

what's the ingredient after the almonds ?

[abcekta]

Hello aunty,

I tried this but initally while frying besan, it formed a stiky paste. So I kept adding more besan and sooji till it started looking like yours. I roasted it and was able to make it into firm ladoos but they dont taste well. I can still taste the raw besan taste. They get soft enough if i microwave them. Can i correct them now by roasting the mix again on stove for a while and reshaping them into laddos. How do I know besan is done? I was getting a sweet smell when I did it earlier

[Manjulaskitchen]

check my website for detailed method I am sure you will find your answers.

[shahidasolaiman]

hello aunty i tried making these ladoo's but i dont know why the mixture became very soft, what can i do to correct it?

[ADumbUsername]

Looks great!

Two questions though:

Can I use oil insead of ghee?

Presumably sooji (semolina) is for texture? Can I just replace it with more besan (I am coeliac)?

Anyone?

[komaldh27]

Answer to your first question:

No, butter or ghee will harden and set at room temp. If you use oil the ladoos will go flat.

Second question:

Yes, you can replace sooji with more besan.

[TheBelieveingod4ever]

Namaste Aunty, i tried this sweet today.

It really came wonderful.

My hubby liked it a lot.

Thanks so much Aunty.

[Manjulaskitchen]

Basen mix should be still warm when you are making ladoo or add more ghee.

[manu4480]

Nice receipe and great method auntie, thanks for the video

[Imjat2002]

Hello Aunty ,Can you please tell how many grams besan does your 1 cup measure? Thanks!!

[Imjat2002]

Hello Aunty,

Thanks for the info. I can follow the same measurement for your other recipes too.Thanks a lot.

[navinshroff]

hi aunty , tried them today ..came out wonderful :) , can u pls tell me whether we shld keep this in frigde? or outside in air tight container? would really appreciate your reply it as i dont want to spoil them :) thanks a lot

[lopapatnaik]

aunty i tried it but i can't bind it or i can say i cant give a round shape.when i put it on the plate it's shape is just finished.what sud i do?

[dipsdil143]

this receipe is so easy and delicious thanx

[logicallycrazy]

Hello! so that looks mouthwatering, thank you for posting it. I do have one question...when you took the mix off the stove it looked a little clumpy but you have a smooth paste while you added the sugar....does that happen with kneading? or would I need to add some liquid ingredient to achieve it? Thank you

[asporkintheroad]

Wow, I didn't realize that they're so simple to make!

How do you store them after you have made them? Should I put them in the fridge or keep them out?

Thank you! :)

[tanishatanisha]

hello aunty, i have a question. is it possible to replace the sooji with something else? my husband cannot have anything made from wheat, so if i use sooji then he won't be able to eat it.

[Manjulaskitchen]

you dont need to use sooji, I use this to give little texture.

[basravi]

I tried the non-sooji version today. They have an almost chalky texture. I think the sooji definitely makes more sense. All in all, still delicious.

[communitypull]

I have started a diet.Can I substitute I love its not butter or margarine in place of real butter/ghee.?I know taste will differ but really want to try this.

[Manjulaskitchen]

You may try and let us know

[nanibee1]

yeah I never knew it was so easy to make ladoos.

Thank you.

I love all ur recipes as my mom died when I was small and had to learn to cook myself and its hard to get recipes for all gujarati recipes.

Thank you aunty.

[twinkledoshi]

turned out super tasty...and was easy to follow. Thanks !!!

[nanibee1]

This looks like a great recipe and will definitely try it as my hubby loves indian sweet.

Thank u aunty!

[leo2learn]

Hi Manjula aunty...i want to ask you that..the sugar must be in power form or the regular sugar we can use for this...??

[xyzgigi]

Thanks for this recipe!

I suffer from a gastro disease(UC) and have very limited food choices.But i was amazed at the recipes u make.Many are suitable for me since u don't use garlic,onions and the ingredients r so simple.Thanks!

[madhosh9]

Thanx Manjula Aunty. Myself and my sister tried your recipe. It turned out to be really good.

Thankyou for giving us the taste of Indian food here in the United States.

[Anvisha111]

Thanks Manjula. You explained the process so well. I will surely try this recipe today.

[Kavisriguru]

Thanks Manjula.

[cuterubii]

[atiagani]

Thanks aunty.....just a quick question,......do we need to refrigerate this ladoo, or we can serve it right away???

[Manjulaskitchen]

[atiagani]

Thanks sooooooooooo much.....never knew its so easy to make ladoo!

[hsuwrhem]

Thanks so much for the recipe aunty! I recently found your recipes and am a fan. this is the first one i tried! worked out great!

to anybody who's laddoos weren't staying in one place - use a bit more butter - i saw my mixture was a bit dry so i added some and your hand really has to be very firm when you make them into balls!

[soniagoraya]

That was an incredibly easy recipe...Manjula I am so thrilled to try all that you have shown...THANK YOU for sharing these recipes:)

[koola4u]

hello ,

I tried it yesterday and came out very good.

[wnsabu]

Hi Aunty,

thankyou so much for sharing this great recipe .. i've question that how can i store these ladoos and for how long,thankyou so much for your time and really appreciate your reply..takecare.

[Manjulaskitchen]

Basen ladoo will stay good for almost a month keep them inair tight container.

[crap1981]

Hi auntyji,

Can i prepare this in microwave? if yes for how long? As i am a working lady i hardly get time to make sweet dishes and cant be near the stove stirring it for long :(

[monicadb5]

Dear Auntyji, thank you very much for being so kind to share your recipies! Im not an Indian, but my husband is Indian, and like most Indians he is very happy to eat home-made indian food cooked by his wife. Im still a beginner in Indian cookery, but now that i 'discovered' your videos, I'll learn very well and much easier. Bhagawan aap ko kush rakhe!

[95tulsi]

why do the ladoo do not take shape it will just sink down when i put on the plate

[Makkand]

That was fantastic - but isn't there a way of frying it?

[DadiJaan14]

Aunty,

I made some, and well.. i nearly had a disaster... but then i managed to rescue them, i decided to use margarine rather then butter as it would have been better... but the margarine just dried up then i had to add some butter on top.

Also i think they were too dry to roll into balls to i used some cling film and filled a spoonful of the mixture on it then i made it round with my hand and left it 4 a while. they stayed round

they turned out yummm - Dadi Jaan

[sharmilak]

Question : Should i use just melted butter or make a complete ghee out of it then use it ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

just melt butter that will work great

[sharmilak]

Thank you very much in taking time in making these videos and posting them.

I have messed up besan ladoo recipe so many times...i have been told different method..i am going to try this soon. thanks again

[shrinky2007]

Thank you Manjula.

[DadiJaan14]

thank u so much aunty.

I love them but here in the uk its a bit difficult to get them, as they are rated as less then motichoor ke lado, as its ramzaan its great timing i will inshAllah make it and let u know of my progress! - Dadi Jaan

[Maggie131984]

forgot to say,that i made them for the first time and i have not much experience in cooking. your videos make it look so easy.

[Maggie131984]

Hello Aunty,

looking at the video, i got a craving for ladoos and made some today, they came out so well and perfect, not too sweet. the only problem was it was little too dry and they used to break when i tried to make ladoos. i tried making them when the basan was warm, but still it was dry.

[Manjulaskitchen]

next time add little more butter.

[FrenchFlower1]

Auntie...ALL your recipes. are "TOP-NOTCH"!!!...Easy to understand and informative...(You're a great teacher!!!) Your family is really lucky to have you as their resident chef!!!!!!!!!!!

[kooktocook]

Looks very good! KtC

[very323]

wow i have a sweet tooth can't help it wow gonna try it wow anty u make everyhing seem easy all da best

[aarti4628]

Thanks so much aunty.. this recipe is awesome !!!!

[95tulsi]

how long can you keep the ladoo

[Manjulaskitchen]

for almost a month

[tekobari]

Thank you so much, Mrs. Jain. I have never tasted these before, so I'm looking forward to making them. It looks like an easy recipe IF the directions are followed exactly. Healthful, too. All of your dishes build health.

I'm so glad I "discovered" you. You're a marvel.

[fyshy1]

Thankyou Manjula for posting this..I will make this with confidence now that you have

shown how to make it......yum :)

[Evange]

When you stir in the sugar, does it disolve? I've tried making ladoos before, but I dont like the crunchy texture from the sugar not disolving.

[Manjulaskitchen]

you have to mix the sugar while basen is still warm but not hot. you should not feel the sugar crunch.

[Evange]

gram flour = chickpea?

[aarti4628]

No thats a different thing. Gramflour is also known as Besan in Hindi

[winniebearlova9889]

hey munjula aunty, i just wanted to kno if this recipie is the same for besan di berfi

[Manjulaskitchen]

almost the same for burfee you need to make the sugar syrup 1 thread. when you syrup and basen mix basen should be at room tep. and syrup should be hot.

[winniebearlova9889]

r u going to make besan di barfi, if u could make a video on that, then that would be so wonder ful, thankyou for replying my comment

[parik4you]

thank you very much :)

[beckylynnkirby]

Do you use green or black cardomon? Thanks.

[Manjulaskitchen]

I use green cardomon

[beckylynnkirby]

Thank you.

[rybpo7]

Thank you, Auntie!

[nayyara7860]

Thanks these are my favorite.

[ContrastY]

I really appreciate learning the Hindu? words for the ingredients you use in your recipes.

Squeezing and then patting the mixture is a great technique for creating symmetrical "balls".

[bestiaccia]

Fantastic recipe, thanks!

This looks delicious! I wonder if it is possible to experiment with different flavorings, such as lemon, etc. I will try your recipe very soon.
