The following are the common issues that happen while forming laddos causing it to break. Here are some tips to set it right instead of throwing it all away. If you have more tips, pls do share in the comment section - it would always be great to learn one more tip since its never enough

The mixture is dry and chalky
If you are not able to shape the mixture into ladoos because it is too dry, then the 2 obvious reasons I can think of are

1. You over roasted/heated the mixture
2. You let the mixture cool down completely before adding sugar.

If this is the case you can try any one of the following methods to solve this problem

• Add the sugar etc and then take the full mixture and re heat in low setting for 1 minute or so until you see the dough coming together.
• What happens is that the heat helps the sugar to melt and give more body to the mixture thereby helping to bind.
• Or heat few teaspoons of milk to warm. Add drop by drop to the chickpea flour mixture. That will help in forming ladoos.

Usually the main problem ahead of forming ladoos when it comes to Besan Ladoo is the taste.
Many a time it happens that after you form the perfect ladoo, you find that something seems amiss in the taste which seems more earthy in flavor. That only means that you didn`t cook the Besan mixture enough. Keep in mind that you need to keep roasting the mixture until aroma starts wafting through the kitchen - And no it wont be mild enough for you to miss. It will be enough to bring neighbor home

Hope these tips help you to enjoy some amazing and delicious Ladoos.
