Festivals in India are never complete without besan-based sweets. With its nutty and warming flavour, besan makes any sweet astonishingly delightful. This festive season, make these amazing besan-based sweets and desserts at home.
Besan batter pearls are deep-fried, soaked in sugar syrup and binded into laddoos.
Besan flour is roasted with rava and ghee and then flavoured with spiced sugar syrup to make a decadent dessert.
A dried mixture of ghee-roasted gram flour and granulated sugar is rolled into small balls to make a delicious sweet.
Ghee-roasted besan is blended with saffron and cardamom spiced sugar syrup then frozen into a greased tray and sliced into bite-sized treats.
Similar to the besan barfi, Mohan thal recipe uses milk or mava addition to make creamy treats.
Flaky Soan papdi is made with a sugar candy mixture, stretched to make thin strands and separated using roasted besan and ghee mixture.
This crumbly sweet is made by cooking the mixture of besan and sugar in generous amounts of ghee until it thickens.
