Low Fat Besan Ke Laddoo

First of all HAPPY DIWALI to all of you.
After reading the title you must be thinking Besan ke Laddoo and that too low fat ?sounds unbelievable.. But it's true..Usually we make it using Ghee but I have usedOlive Oil instead of Ghee* and SugerFree to sweeten it. Here is the recipe how I made this Low Fat Besan Ke Laddoo On this Diwali :

Preparation Time : 5-10 minutes
Cooking Time : 15-20 minutes
Servings : 4

INGREDIENTS
Gram flour (besan) 4 cups

Olive oil 1 cup

Green cardamom powder 1/2 teaspoon

Cashewnuts, coarsely ground 12-15

Almonds, coarsely ground 12-15

Powdered sugar 2 cup

METHOD
1.Sift besan through a fine sieve and set aside.
2.Heat olive oil in a kadai (wok) and add besan. Cook on low heat for ten to twelve minutes or till besan is well done and fragrant. Add green cardamom powder, cashewnuts and almonds. Mix thoroughly and remove from heat.
3.Let it cool for a while. Add powdered sugar and mix well.

4.Shape into walnut-sized round laddoos. Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.





I did some changes in this recipe...

1.While making this laddoos , the besan was coming out very sticky so I used my Mom's old trick and added 2 tablespoon of roasted semolina in it. After adding Semolina the texture of Besan was just perfect just like coarse Gram Flour.

2.Also I addd 2 tablespoon of Ghee to give the authentic Aroma.

3.Instead of Sugar I used 1 cup of sugerfree to reduce the calories.

I hope you liked this recipe as we can maintain our diet and enjoy the festival sweets at the same time.

Once again Happy Diwali and Happy Cooking... :)
