Whether it's besan or ragi, nourishment in a ladoo starts with honest ingredients and patient roasting, which is how The Ladoo Katha's nourishing ladoos are made.
Besan ladoo is a legend. That roasted gram-flour aroma, the melt-in-the-mouth crumb, the ghee. If you're searching for one with no refined sugar, you're not alone, and you deserve straight answers.

What should I check on a besan ladoo label?
- The sweetener: jaggery? dates? Something else? It should be named.
- The base: besan, or besan blended with other flours.
- The fat: ghee, oil, or a blend.
- The claim itself: "no refined sugar" should come with an honest note that naturally occurring sugars can remain.
Why is the roast so important?
Besan needs patient roasting in ghee until it smells nutty and turns a deep gold. Under-roast it and it tastes raw; over-roast and it's bitter. A good brand will tell you how they do it.
What if I love that roasted flavour?
Then try a roasted millet ladoo. Our Ragi & Walnut is 30.4% ragi flour with roasted chana dal, which brings a distinctly nutty, besan-like note, plus walnuts, cashews, almonds, dry ginger, jaggery and ghee. It's not a besan ladoo; it's a cousin.
And the sugar?
Made with jaggery, sweetened by dates and jaggery.
