Method

  1. 1Melt ghee in a heavy pan, add besan and roast on low — 12 minutes, stirring constantly till deep golden and fragrant.
  2. 2Add almond flour and milk powder; toast 2 more minutes.
  3. 3Off heat, stir in cardamom and salt; cool slightly till just warm to touch.
  4. 4Mix in jaggery — only when warm, never hot or it melts and ruins texture.
  5. 5Add half the chopped nuts.
  6. 6Shape into golf-ball laddus while still warm; press remaining nuts on top. Cools to firm-but-soft texture.
