Remove the pan from the heat and let the besan cool to a warm temperature.
While the mixture is warm add sugar and mix well
Make ladoos with the mixture by gently pressing it between your palms to form a smooth, round ball.
Leave the ladoos on a plate to cool to room temperature before putting into a covered container.
The ladoos can be stored in an airtight container for 2 weeks.
