    Chocolate Besan Ladoo

    Published On October 29, 2021 by Aayushi Patel This Post May Contain Affiliate Links

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Chocolate Besan Ladoo is a fusion recipe of the traditional besan ladoos that we make on every special occasion. Besan ladoo have always been my favorite since my childhood. And common, who doesn't love chocolate. If you follow me for a while, you might know by now how much I love chocolate, and so I decide to club my two favorites this Diwali, into one bomb Fudgy Chocolaty Besan Ladoo.

    Chocolate Besan Ladoo

    What are Besan Ladoos?

    Besan Ladoos are a traditional Indian Mithai (sweet) made with Chickpea Flour, Ghee, Cardamom, and Sugar. These are super simple and quick to make. And guess what, they are packed with protein. The beautifully roasted chickpea flour in ghee renders a delicious nutty taste and the sweet notes from cardamom bring a very earthy taste to these.

    Why Chocolate Besan Ladoos?

    For once, I felt this time that I should brainstorm something simple but a fusion recipe. Just hoping on the fusion recipe bandwagon here, which is loved by so much all. Chocolate and Besan Ladoos are two of my most loved sweets, so I thought of bringing them together. They taste absolutely delicious. So fudgy and nutty. Gosh, if you are reading this, you definitely have to give this recipe a try.

    Ingredients to Make These Chocolate Besan Ladoos?

    Besan - You will need a good quality besan. I use Laxmi Brand besan that is available at any Indian Store. As the besan is very lumpy we will sift it before using.

    Cocoa Powder - It is very important to use a very good quality cocoa powder for this recipe. I highly recommend Guitard Cocoa Powder.

    Ghee - Make sure you use melted ghee as per the measurements given. Add more ghee if the mix doesn't losen up.

    Confectioners/ Icing Sugar - We will be using confectioners Sugar for this recipe as it mixes really well with the ladoos. If you don't have confectioners sugar, Grind 1/2 Cup of Castor Sugar into a fine powder and sift it to remove any big pieces.

    Cardamom Powder - I make Cardamom Powder at home using the green cardamom seeds. But you can also use any store bought cardamom powder. I love the Morton and Bassett brand for cardamom powder, it smells fresh and has a very long shelf life.

    Crushed Pistachios and Edible Golden Leaf - For Garnishing.

      Equipment

      • A Non Stick Heavy Bottom Pot

      Ingredients

      • 2 Cups Besan
      • 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
      • 3/4 Cup Melted Ghee (3 times 1/4 cup is 3/4 cup)
      • 1/2 Cup Confectioners Sugar
      • 1 Tsp Cardamom Powder
      • 1 Tbsp Crushed Pistachios For Granishing
      • 3 Edible Gold Leaf For Garnishing (Optional)

      Instructions

      • Sift besan and Cocoa powder in a wide mouth bowl. Keep it aside.
      • Next sift the confectioners sugar in a separate bowl. Keep it aside.
      • Measure and keep the ghee ready.
      • Place a heavy bottom pan on a low flame. Add the besan and cocoa mixture.
      • Roast the besan and cocoa mixture for 5-6 minutes stirring continuously. You will notice that it has become easier to move the spatula in the pot than you first started.
      • At 5-6 minute mark, add ghee. You will be able to smell the nuttiness of besan and bitter sweet notes from the cocoa powder.
      • You will notice, the mixture becoming lumpy, keep stiring it. Don't worry this is how it is supposed to look.
      • Around 8-9 minutes in the roasting, you will notice that the mixture is loosening up as the besan roasts.
      • Please don't stop stirring. Roasting the besan continuously is very important, or your besan might burn.
      • By 20 mins, your besan will loosen up to a smooth consistency.
      • We have roasted the besan long enough for it to be cooked thouroughly, and bring the nutty flavor. At this point, I bet your kitchen is smelling absolutely amazing, with the nutty and bitter sweet aroma from besan and cocoa powder.
      • Turn off the stove. Mix it well. Take the mixture out in a heat proof bowl.

      To Make Chocolate Besan Barks (Recommended to make for Summers)

      • Chocolate rarely behaves during summer months, so setting this mix to make barks instead is a great option to make this recipe for summers.
      • Add the Icing (confectioners)Sugar and cardamom and mix. Lay a parchment paper in baking tray. Pour the mix, and tap to flatten it. garnish with pistachip powder
      • Refrigerate for 2 hours and cut into squares usig a sharp knife.

      To Make Chocolate Besan Ladoos

      • Let the mixture cool down for about 15 minutes. Mix the Confectioners Sugar and Cardamom Powder.
      • You will have a dough like consistency. Take a Tbsp full of dough, and press it between your palms. Give the ladoos a round shape.
      • Garnish them with edible gold leaf and crushed pistachios.
      • Store them in an air tight container and enjoy.

      Notes

      Tips to Make Perfect Chocolate Besan Ladoos
      • Roasting the Besan Flour - Patiently roast the besan and cocoa mixture. Stir continuously. Each stage of roasting is important. The besan will taste good only if it is roasted thoroughly. So make sure you roast it thoroughly until the nutty aroma comes through. 
      • Make sure your heat is at low at all times. If the besan mix burns, the ladoos won't taste good. 
      • Making the ladoos - Let the besan cool down completely and try to roll the ladoos. If you are not able to roll them yet, wait for 5-7 minutes more. 
      • If you like crunch texture in your ladoos, you can either use ladoo besan (it is nothing but coarsely ground besan) or add 2 Tbsps Semolina.

      • 📌Air Fried Idlis📌

So many of you requested me to show you how I make air fried crispy idlis. Here’s how. But before that, my biggest tip to make these idlis is to use leftover idlis. 

I am using 6 leftover idlis, and for it I used 1 Tbsp oil. Lay them in a single layer in the air fryer, this will help them crisp up evenly. 

1. Cut the leftover idlis into equal sized wedges. 
2. Add them to a mixing bowl and add oil. Mix it with your hands. 
3. Preheat the Air Fryer on Roast setting for 400F for 1 minute.
4. Air fry the idlis in 2 batches, Add the idlis in a single layer and roast them at 400F for 12 mins. Give it a shake at 6 mins mark to make sure idlis crisp evenly.

      • Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story. 

I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side. 

I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU. 

So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten  better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

      • Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious! 

📌Recipe📌

🌱 For the Curry Base

• 1 Tbsp Oil
• 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
• 2 Green Cardamoms
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
• 1 Dried Red Chili
• 1 Medium Onion Sliced
• 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
• 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
• 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
• 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 8-10 Cashews

For The Curry

• 2 Tbsp Butter
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder 
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
• 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
• 1 Tsp Garam Masala
• 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
• Adjust Salt if needed

📌 step by step📌

1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown. 
3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften. 
4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base. 
5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency. 
6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt. 
7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft. 
8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
9. Serve hot!

      • Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again. 

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“ 

If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.

      📌Air Fried Idlis📌

      So many of you requested me to show you how I make air fried crispy idlis. Here’s how. But before that, my biggest tip to make these idlis is to use leftover idlis.

      I am using 6 leftover idlis, and for it I used 1 Tbsp oil. Lay them in a single layer in the air fryer, this will help them crisp up evenly.

      1. Cut the leftover idlis into equal sized wedges.
      2. Add them to a mixing bowl and add oil. Mix it with your hands.
      3. Preheat the Air Fryer on Roast setting for 400F for 1 minute.
      4. Air fry the idlis in 2 batches, Add the idlis in a single layer and roast them at 400F for 12 mins. Give it a shake at 6 mins mark to make sure idlis crisp evenly.

      Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story.

      I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side.

      I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU.

      So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

      Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious!

      📌Recipe📌

      🌱 For the Curry Base

      • 1 Tbsp Oil
      • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
      • 2 Green Cardamoms
      • 1 Bay Leaf
      • 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
      • 1 Dried Red Chili
      • 1 Medium Onion Sliced
      • 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
      • 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
      • 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
      • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
      • 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
      • 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
      • 1 Tsp Salt
      • 8-10 Cashews

      For The Curry

      • 2 Tbsp Butter
      • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder
      • 1 Tsp Salt
      • 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
      • 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
      • 1 Tsp Garam Masala
      • 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
      • Adjust Salt if needed

      📌 step by step📌

      1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown.
      3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften.
      4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base.
      5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency.
      6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt.
      7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft.
      8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
      9. Serve hot!

      Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again.

      “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“

      If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.
