Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a pan, heat ghee or coconut oil on low heat.

  2. 2

    Add roasted besan and almond or coconut flour, stirring continuously to avoid burning, until the mixture turns golden brown.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat and mix in the sweetener and cardamom powder.

  4. 4

    Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Shape into small balls (ladoos) while it's still warm.

  5. 5

    Garnish with chopped nuts if desired.

  6. 6

    In a mixing bowl, combine besan, chopped vegetables, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.

  7. 7

    Add water gradually to form a thick batter.

  8. 8

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

  9. 9

    Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

  10. 10

    Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

  11. 11

    In a mixing bowl, combine besan, whole wheat flour (if using), fenugreek leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.

  12. 12

    Gradually add water to form a soft dough.

  13. 13

    Divide the dough into balls and roll out each ball into flat circles (thepla).

  14. 14

    Heat a skillet over medium heat, lightly grease it, and cook each thepla until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  15. 15

    Serve warm with yogurt or a low-sugar chutney.

  16. 16

    Heat a non-stick pan and add a small amount of oil. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

  17. 17

    Add mixed vegetables and sauté for a few minutes.

  18. 18

    Add besan, turmeric powder, green chilies, and salt. Stir well to combine.

  19. 19

    Gradually add water to reach your desired consistency, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

  20. 20

    Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Serve hot.

A healthy version of the traditional Indian sweet made with roasted gram flour and a natural sweetener.
