Besan Laddoo

Besan, also called gram flour is made from ground chickpeas. It contains a higher percentage of protein than other flours and is gluten free. It is used for making soan papadi, mysore pak, boondi and chakli. I used a besan laddoo mix which contains 60% besan, sugar, spices and condiments.

The stones from Smithsonian are gems, minerals or rocks. They were gifts to my daughter from her grand uncle who volunteers at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. The Institution is a group of museums founded by the British scientist, James Smithson.
