Besan ka halwa

So I ordered Besan ka laddu for the first time and I am eagerly waiting for it. Is there a big difference between besan ka laddu and besan ka halwa which Aly made today?

yes

but both are delicious

ladu is more for nashta where as halwa is more loose so it can be part of lunch and dinner; at least in my home

Does ladu also have ghee in the ingredients? 🙈

Aly was saying something about ghee in the halwa which would make the halwa more tasty

Thanks 🙏

I'm not sure but this post of yours makes me want to try it too. Let me know how it is.

I thought that Besan ka laddu was just besan ka halwa rolled into a ball. I can be wrong. ☺️

After so much negativity in the forum, I thought this post would be about calling someone besan ka halwa metaphorically 😆

yes most moms make halwa with a lot of ghee to roast the besan, even mine

she also adds chopped dryfruits in the ghee, it tastes yum

I can't believe we are discussing halwa but Aly ne banaya hoga toh accha hi hoga

wo ladka khane ke mamle mein aur coffee ke mamle mein dil se bolta hai😆

I just saw it today so I ordered what was available. I have heard about it before in movies and tv shows but I never tried it.

I actually have a list in mind what I want to try like laddu, pani puri, bhel puri, the round white/silver ball that Hritik loved in KKKG etc...

Will definitely let you know about besan ka halwa

Would that be an insult or an compliment like you are so sweet like besan ka halwa or as soft as besan ja halwa?

I dont think any kind of halwa can be insult. (Other than goo ka mentioned by Nikki).

Idk how Aly made it 😂

But my mom makes Besan Ka laddo quite often tbh 😂

And I'm just telling you what I have observed so far 😅

For besan ka laddo

You just have to put in ghee in pan (kadai) and roast gram flour, add sugar and stir the mix nicely (to avoid unnecessary clumps or overcooked/burnt chunks )

Stirring the mix is the only though job involved

And then you roll the mix up like balls (while they're warm 😳) - that's what makes it a laddo😆

(For besan ka halwa)

On the other hand , you just have to add hot/warm milk to this roasted Gram flour mix (in intervals- so that it doesn't clump) and stir it

That's the halwa😆

And yes , its pure ghee that's makes it tasty - the most essential ingredient

Only difference I feel in Besan Ka Laddo and Halwa is - You can preserve laddo for lil longer while halwa is ideally consumed on the same day (because of the milk ig)

They're both delicious though 😋, you just have to get right kind of gram flour n Ghee - then you're sorted😎 (also stir it nicely😆)

P.S you weren't asking for Recipe, were you ? 😆

But i said it anyways, for more clarity😆
