Notes
- If the laddu isn’t coming together in your hand, just add a bit more ghee.
- Don’t heat the ghee too much; it should be warm but safe to touch with your hands.
- Ghee is the flavor that brings taste to the ladoos, so dont reduce it than mentioned.
- For glossy besan laddoos, you can add little more Ghee
