hi,
ReplyDeletewith adding milk, how many days the laddus will be eatable?
In cold weather, laddus can stay good for 10-15 days. However, refrigerate after 3-4 days if weather is hot and humid.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning,
ReplyDeleteDear Vaidehi,
I have gone through the recipe of Besan Laddoo without sugar syrup but I cant shape them properly. They become flat while shaping them. Please guide what to do.
Hi Prajakta
ReplyDeleteIs the mixture crumbly? Add some warm ghee to the mixture and mix. Shape Them like laddus
If the laddus are becoming flat after shaping them, then that means you have added more ghee than required. Due to ghee, mixture will be more tasty :), but they wont form laddus well. Dry roast 2-3 tbsp besan and add it to the mixture. Mix and make laddus. I think this will work!!
Hi vaidehi... I am always unsuccesful in roasting besan. Either it is raw or gets overdone... Wat can i do?

ReplyDeleteHi Sailee
ReplyDeleteWhen you Roast besan, you will have to roast it over low to medium heat. Stir continuously.
Roasted besan has nice aroma. it changes color to golden after roasting. Do not roast once you get the desired color. This way you will get perfectly roasted besan. Keep trying :)
can i make besan ka ladoo with thin besan?
ReplyDeleteHello Shivranshu
ReplyDeleteYes it is fine to use thin besan. I have given two methods. Follow the second method and add some milk.
i would like to mention that i make these frequently and they stay outside without refrigeration for a month or so if milk is not used(.i stay in mumbai).if u feel u can not form ladoos just add a bit more of ghee
ReplyDeleteThank you for your tip.
