Nimisha,
I use the regular sugar, if sugar is too grainy then powder the sugar.

Hi Aunty – I tried the ladoos with the proportions you gave. I used ladoo besan which is a little coarser than regular besan. After Step 5 (i.e mixing suagr etc), the resulting powder was not very wet but just powdery. The balls that I made would not hold shape. I sprinked some milk and then made the ladoos. Hope the milk does not make the ladoos spoil faster. Thanks for the recipe

Anju, Basen does take time to roast, did you add the sugar when basen was quite warm.

Hi Auntie,
I have the same issue of laddo’s are soft on the day I make but the next day they get hard.
We made the ladoo the other evening. Tastes great, but they are very hard. When we added the sugar to the warm besan to roll dough was still soft and sticky and basically we just rolled in to ball. Didn’t squeeze because dough was so soft and wet feeling. Any tips on what went wrong and what I should do to remedy it next time? Besan seemed to take a long time to roast. Thank you !
