Besan ke laddu

Besan laddu is sweet dish of India. It is prepared with besan(gram flour), sugar and ghee. They are mostly prepared on festivals, marriages and other religious occasions. Reason behind my posting this recipe is that my two year son loves laddus a lot. He is a big fan of Cartoon character “Chhota bheem” which eats laddus a lot and gets all power by eating laddus. My baby also imitates’ Bheem’ and  used to say ………mumma laddu kha ke mere pass shakti aa gayi. So this is for my darling baby Arjun.
