Besan Ladoo

Round gram flour sweets roasted in ghee with sugar and cardamom, rolled into golden balls for festive occasions.

Ingredients

• 1 kg lamb shoulder
• 2 cups roti
• 2 tsp curry leaves
• a pinch of ground turmeric
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 1 cup fresh spinach, sliced
• a handful of fresh mint, chopped
• lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with ghee.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the naan bread and garam masala until evenly combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, blend the plain yogurt with the water until smooth and well incorporated.

4. 4

   Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.

5. 5

   Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 25 mins.

6. 6

   Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.

7. 7

   Garnish with mint or a dusting of lemon wedges.

8. 8

   Slice or portion into servings and serve.
