Ladu Besan — Coarse Chickpea Flour for Sweets | 4 lb, 6 lb, 12 lb & 55 lb
Ladu Besan is a coarse-ground chickpea flour specially milled for traditional South Asian sweets. Unlike fine besan used for batters and savoury cooking, Ladu Besan has a slightly coarser grind that gives besan ladoo and other mithai their characteristic texture, bite, and rich nutty depth. Available in a full range of retail and bulk sizes.
Culinary Uses:
- Besan ladoo — the classic roasted chickpea flour sweet with ghee and sugar
- Motichoor ladoo base preparation
- Mysore pak — the rich South Indian chickpea flour and ghee sweet
- Besan halwa
- Chakli and murukku — savoury fried snacks
- Traditional mithai and festive sweets
Why Ladu Besan vs Regular Besan: The coarser grind retains more texture when roasted in ghee, giving ladoo a slightly grainy, melt-in-the-mouth quality that fine besan cannot replicate. Best results when slow-roasted in ghee until golden and fragrant.
