 I made half the recipe, and it turned out great. Next time, I might try making it with plain besan though, to get a softer product. But this one was definitely a hit, especially with my biggest critic, Miss M.  Measure out 1 cup ghee in a pan. In a small pan, heat 1/4 cup milk, and 2 tbsp ghee (taken from the one cup ghee).

In a large bowl, mix 21/2 cups  ladoo besan (coarse) with the milk and ghee mixture. Rub between palms, press, cover and set aside for 20 minutes. Strain the mixture using a seive. Take any remaining bits, and run them through a small grinder, and mix it back. Now, heat the ghee on a low flame, add the prepared flour, and roast.
