Besan Laddu Making Made Easier

[vidaripollen]

you are really wiser!

[aucksvtech]

mine came out runny was this because i used fine basen flour instead of coarse?

[oldernwiser0]

@aucksvtech both types of basan will will work fine and each will give their own distinctive taste,;  the runniness is probably because the moisture was excessive to start with or it was not heated for long enough ...cheers ! :-)

Gram flour, not to be confused with Graham flour, also known as chana flour or besan is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine. It consists of ground chana dal also known as Bengal grams in some localities, and it is used in various foods such as sweets and bombay mix. Besan is typically confused with chickpea flour! As stated above,besan is ground chana(NOT chickpea)dal.

@CT2507 (cont)

Chickpeas are larger and light brown in color and are used in making items like falafel.Chana are smaller and dark brown in color.Culinary quality of these two are very different.

[CT2507]

@CT2507 ...but i guess u could use chickpea flour as a substitute if u dont have real besan.

am i right?

cheers.

[crajneesh]

your recipe is really good n big thanx for the same

[oldernwiser0]

im glad you found it useful, thanks for your comment cheers ! :-)

[somalin1982]

Thx for the recipe..It uses very less ghee true..but you used milk...so how long will it stay good?do we hv any alternative?also crispness of the ladoo is gone...and why did not you use besan ladoo?

[oldernwiser0]

the milk added is in a very small quantity and will not make the laddu any more vulnerable to spoilage.. and i have kept this laddu outside of a fridge for about a week and have not found any deterioration in its taste... but if you prefer you may use a little water.. this ladoo is not meant to be crispy.. it is soft and powdery and is meant to be that way ..and i did not understand "why did you not use besan ladoo ? part of your query, and so cant answer,, anyways.. thanks and cheers ! :-)

[somalin1982]

Thank you very much for responding..I meant ladoo besan...never mind

[nilaykutta]

if u could pls use wooden spatula then may be we can listen to ur instructions better

[oldernwiser0]

good idea, thanks for suggesting, will keep it in mind next time ...cheers ! :-)

[jimx0078]

Can you please tell me why when I tried to make it, besan turned brown and black, lol, but it tasted good just not yellow:(

[oldernwiser0]

fortunately, there can't be more than one reason for it turning brown and black, which is that it has been over roasted.. try using a thick vessel /kadai and on a low flame and along with that, some patience ..and am sure you wont get it brown and black ( may not be very yellow unless you add artificial colouring which i dont encourage ) ; but hey, you already got 95 percent of success ( taste ! ), so congrats ! and all the best :-)

[Exportlover]

another great creation thank you for posting more videos. it is always a great pleasure watching your informative videos. keep up the great work

[oldernwiser0]

thanks for your very encouraging comments. i really appreciate them !:)

[MicheleMidnight]

i'll have to come back when i have full use of both arms and can really cook again. i just moved from ready made to opening cans and boxes again.lol...one handed wonder for a little longer!

[oldernwiser0]

i have a hunch that it will happen very soon ! that you will be able to TELL both your arms to behave themselves properly and that they will listen ...believe me, this kind of strategy works ! i'd love to - very soon - see you singing and dancing as you have in your older posts.. take care ! and thanks for taking the trouble of commenting on my videos ...

[choowee]

surprisingly more healthy than I thought they would be... nice job, looks delicious!

[oldernwiser0]

yes.. and the only thing is that you should be able to expell the raw smell / taste of besan..

thanks for viewing and commenting !:)
