Round, festive and entirely giftable — a ladoo with proper ghee roasting tastes of patience. Ready in 50 minutes including prep.

Shape into ladoos with greased palms while the mix is warm.

Rest 30 minutes to set; they keep beautifully in a tin.

Chef's tip

Ghee first, sweetness later — sugar added too early toughens flour and milk solids.
