Keep stirring constantly throughout roasting
gram flour burns very quickly if left unattended
Handle hot melted ghee carefully when pouring to prevent painful burns from splashes.
In the same pan, melt 1 cup of clarified butter (ghee). Add 3 cups of gram flour (besan) and roast on medium flame, stirring continuously. As it darkens, add 0.25 cup sliced dry fruits and roast for 2-3 minutes more until deep golden brown and nutty. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely.

The ghee mixture gets very hot
stir constantly so the bottom does not scorch and turn bitter
Place a sieve over the bowl containing the cooled ghee-roasted besan mixture. Sift the cooled dry-roasted besan into the bowl and mix well with a spatula.
Watch out
Make sure both flour mixtures are completely cooled before combining
hot flour will melt sugar added later
Sift 2.5 cups of powdered sugar through the sieve into the bowl with the flour mixture.
Watch out
Always measure 2.5 cups AFTER grinding sugar into powder to maintain the correct sweet balance.
Use clean hands to rub and knead the mixture firmly together until all ingredients combine thoroughly and form a soft, pliable dough.
Watch out
Knead thoroughly with pressure so the ghee warms up slightly and binds the dry ingredients well.
Take a small portion of the laddu mixture into your hand, press tightly, and roll it between your palms to form a smooth, shiny, spherical ball. Repeat for the remaining mixture and arrange on a serving plate.
Watch out
Press the portion tightly before rolling to prevent the laddu from cracking or breaking apart later.
Garnish each Besan Laddu with sliced pistachios or mixed nuts on top. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Watch out
Garnish while the laddus are freshly rolled so the nuts stick to the soft surface.
