And now - lets make laddus!

You need to slowly melt one stick of unsalted butter, and add 3/4 + 1/8 C chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour. This means, that you need just a little less than one full cup of flour. Stir over slow fire until it turns a pretty light latte color and smells nutty.



As the flour melts with the butter, it will be a thick pancake butter consistency. Take it off the fire, stir for another 30 seconds, then let it cool down.

Mix in 3/4 + 1/8 C (same amount as flour, a little less than a cup) confectioner's sugar.





roll it into small balls, put it into the fridge for 20 minutes, then




and then



These laddus are very adaptable. Our favorite addition is walnuts, you add them with the flour so they get yummy and toasted. You may add lemon grind, a pinch of nutmeg, toasted coconut, raisins, roll them in any number of things, let the imagination soar!
