Gram flour roasted slowly in real desi ghee absorbs the fat completely, creating a crumbly-soft texture that melts as you eat it. Fast roasting or insufficient ghee produces a dry, grainy result. Ours is slow-roasted with the right ratio - the difference is immediately noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5; padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500; font-size:14px; cursor:pointer;\"\u003eIs this made with jaggery or sugar?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:8px; font-size:13px; color:#555; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eNatural jaggery only. Most commercial besan laddus use refined sugar or sugar powder, which gives them an artificial whiteness and flat sweetness. Jaggery creates a warmer, more complex sweetness and a naturally golden tone that pure ghee-roasted besan deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails style=\"border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5; padding:12px 0;\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary style=\"font-weight:500; font-size:14px; cursor:pointer;\"\u003eHow long does it stay fresh?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-top:8px; font-size:13px; color:#555; line-height:1.6;\"\u003e2-3 weeks at room temperature in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Up to a month refrigerated. Besan laddu is one of the longer-lasting laddus because gram flour and ghee are natural preservatives.
