Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add besan, milk and 2 tbsp unsalted melted butter or ghee. Mix it well using your hand and rubbing motion between your palm for about a minute or till it gets grainy texture. If you are using laddoo flour from an store then this process is not required.
  2. Heat a heavy bottom pan at medium heat. Add 1 tbsp butter and besan mixture. Roast the besan by stirring continuously using a rubber spatula. During the roasting process break the besan which gets crumbled using the spatula. During the roasting process maintain the temperature between low to medium.
