Instructions: To begin making Badam & Besan Ladoo recipe, start by melting homemade ghee in a Wok or Kadai, making sure that the heat is low.Add in the gram flour, semolina and keep stirring for about 8-10 minutes till the mix gets a nice golden brown colour and starts bubbling. Keep the heat low through the process and continuously keep stirring to avoid charring.Add few sprinkles of water to the mix and stir well, this gives the tiny lumps of besan ladoo mixture.Switch off and add cardamom and raisins. Mix well till the mixture cools down. Cardamom added to the hot mixture will infuse its aroma well.Let the mixture cool completely in normal condition. It takes a good 30 minutes or more. You could transfer the mixture to another kadai.Meanwhile, heat the kadai again over low heat and dry roast almonds till aromatic and evenly roasted well.In a grinder, once the almonds cool down a bit, dry grind them to make a flour.Add sugar and almond flour to the mix and make sure it is evenly combined.Finally roll out the dough form balls,adding a few rose petal leaves for that earthy touch and keep on a parchment to set for 10minutes before the badam and besan ladoos are ready to eat.Serve these Badam & Besan Ladoos during tea time with Turmeric Milk recipe and Baked Palak Ki Mathri or Khara Biscuit recipe.
