How to make besan ladoo

3. Mix the powdered sugar in the besan mixture very well.

4. Make sure that sugar will combine with besan evenly.

5. Take a small ball sized besan mixture and make a round shape ladoo.

6. When you shape the ladoo, put half piece of cashew on it and gently rolled the ladoo.
