Make Homemade Besan Ladoo or Gram flour balls, one of the most common, healthy and most easiest ladoos made in India with this easy recipe.
Method 
Heat the skillet on a low flame. Add ghee to it and let it start bubbling and melt completely.
Add besan and semolina and mix it well.
Roast it till the raw smell of the besan is completely gone and the colour turns dark. This will take 6 to 8 mins or till the besan starts turning dark in colour. Just take a pinch and taste it and it shouldn’t taste raw.
The consistency will be a little soft.
Add water bit by bit and mix till it evaporates. Adding water brings out bubbles and turn the mixture sandy. This step will make the ladoo more light and airy.
Transfer the mixture to a plate.
Let it cool down to a temperature that you can handle.
Add cardamom powder, crushed saffron, pista and rose petals. Add powdered sugar bit by bit while mixing it well.
Sugar should mix well and completely. Rub between your palms to mix sugar well.
