Khoya Besan ladoo is a traditional and delicious Indian sweet dish made with unsweetened khoya / mawa, gram flour, sugar, cardamom and nuts. This besan ladoorecipe is so quick to make and perfect for festivals, parties or any occasion. I have used homemade khoya in this recipe. You can also use the store-bought one.
Always roast the flame over a low flame and make sure you use a heavy bottomed pan to prevent burning.
Do not add sugar powder when the roasted besan mixture is too hot.
Do not add sugar powder when the mixture is cooled down completely.
If you are not able to shape the laddus, add some warm ghee to the mixture and shape.
Use fresh cardamom pods for the best flavor.
You can also combine the laddu mixture with ghee roasted nuts for the crunch.

Can you please tell me which mawa powder you used? Grocery stores mawa powder packet says milk powder in the bracket. So i am not sure if its the right one.

I have used homemade mawa. You can use any store-bought mawa/khoya.
Allow it to cool down to a warm temperature. Touch with your fingers and check, it should be warm and not hot. Also if you live in a cold region, make sure you don't let the mixture become cold because the ghee will solidify and the besan ladoos won't bind well.
This means you have added way too much ghee or added the sugar when the roasted besan was too hot. To solve this, first try keeping the ladoo mix in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. If that doesn't work , roast more besan with very little ghee and add to the besan mixture. Or you could add powdered nuts.
If besan is not properly roasted, you will feel the raw smell in your besan laddu and it will not taste good. The more you roast the flour, the more flavorful your besan ladoo will turn out. But too much roasting can also spoil the taste. Continuous stirring while roasting the flour is very important.
What if the besan ladoo mixture is too hard or too soft? If the mixture is too hard, add a few teaspoons of ghee and warm it up a bit. If the mixture is too soft, let it cool a moment longer before beginning to form the balls. Remember that the ghee will help solidify it.
Another great way to adjust the consistency of your gravy and make it thicker is by adding roasted besan or gram flour to it. If you see that your gravy is becoming too thin, especially in Indian curries, all you have to do is roast some besan without oil in a thick pan and add it to the gravy.
If the laddu mixture has become hard: In this case, add a few splashes of water to the mixture. If til laddu is not binding: If you cannot bind and shape, this means the jaggery syrup needs to be cooked more and has not reached the soft ball stage.
Yes, Besan Ladoo can be a healthy indulgence when consumed in moderation. The inclusion of gram flour provides protein, while desi ghee adds healthy fats. Gokheti Besan Ladoo, with its organic ingredients, takes the health factor up a notch.
Motichoor Ladoos have a delicate and crunchy texture, while Boondi Ladoos have a slightly softer and more porous texture. Both sweets are high in calories and sugar and are made from besan, which is a good source of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates.
How to fix besan ladoo not binding? If the ladoo mixture is dry, the ladoo will not bind, or not form a round shape. The reason is usually less ghee used while roasting. To fix dry besan mixture, add a little warm and melted ghee or warm milk and mix.
Step 1 - Soak chana dal in water for half an hour and waah it thoroughly. Drain the excess water through a sieve. Step 2 - Keep the chana dal out in the sun for 2-3 hours till completely dry. Step 3 - Now, grind the dal in a mixer-grinder till it turns into a powder form.

If syrup is not right consistency Burfi can become very soft or very dry, in any case it is easy to fix. Burfi is too soft: add little more almond powder or coconut powder. May be make them in ladoo a ball shape little smaller then golf ball and roll them in almond or coconut powder.
The lumps you mention are probably lumps of sugar syrup that was too thick and set as soon as it cooled down. Only way I can think of breaking down these hard lumps is by blending the whole mix in a blender. If you are lucky, you may then be able to press this mix into laddoo balls.
