Besan Ladoo Vegan Recipe

Ingredients:

1/4 cup chickpea flour

1 Tablespoon shredded coconut(dried small flakes , optional)

1 Tablespoon pure food grade softened cocoa butter( or 1-2 Tablespoons oil)

2.5 Tablespoons sugar(I used ground raw sugar)

1/8 teaspoon cardamom powder

generous pinch of nutmeg powder

pinch of salt

1 Tablespoon coconut milk( or non dairy milk)

Method:

Add chickpea flour to a pan and Dry roast for 5 minutes on low heat. stir once or twice.

Add coconut flakes and cocoa butter, Mix well and roast for 15 minutes.

Press down and mix well every 3-4 minutes.

If making a large batch add enough cocoa butter or oil, so the mixture does not appear dry.

Add sugar, salt and spices and mix well. Roast on another 3 minutes.

Sprinkle coconut milk on the mixture and mix.

If the mixture doesnt comes together add a few drops more.

(You can add enough to make one big lump to make it easier to shape)

Take off heat. Let cool for a minute or so until warm to handle.

Make balls of the mixture. Press crushed cashew or pistachios or raisins on top.
