Recipe for Besan Laddoos

‘Besan’ or 'Chane ka Atta' is the Local Indian word for Gram Flour or Chickpea
Flour. 'Chana' is Chickpea/Gram and 'Atta' is Flour.

Besan Laddoos are one of my Mom and Brother’s favourite Christmas sweets. The
Hindu community also makes these laddoos during Diwali.

Whenever Mum makes Besan Laddoos, my only duty would be to Shape the them
because at home nobody could manage the perfect round shape, except me and my
brother’s duty was only to Eat all the Laddoos, lucky bugger!

Although it’s not Christmas or Diwali, I made this batch of laddoos to celebrate
a Friend’s Birthday who I have utmost respect for, who has given me SO MUCH &
MORE when it comes to FOOD …be it Knowledge, Guidance, Motivation,
Tips,Corrections, Advice, I can go on and on… That friend is David D’souza, A
Goan Food Blogger and Food Enthusiast whose Global Goan Food Page on Facebook
called ‘Traditional Goan Foodies’ is trending with more than 170k members and
counting, where all of us all over the World, share Goan Food Recipes, Forgotten
Traditional Foods, Techniques, Knowledge, etc.. Besan Laddoos are one of David's
favourites. So, instead of a cake, I decided to make Besan Laddoos to celebrate
his Birthday!

P.S. My Bitter Better, staring at the laddoos, asks me “Why are these called
“Basin” laddoos when they are made of Chane ka atta?” OMG! I wanted to Hug him
and Kiss him but then I said this guy will get too much footage…hahahaha… but I
still did 😊 He’s so cute ya!!
