• Mix the whole wheat flour and besan in a bowl.  Add 1/8 cup of ghee or oil in it. Prepare a tight dough using warm water as needed.
• Make fist shaped balls from the dough.  
• Heat oil or ghee (we used oil) and fry the dough balls on medium heat, until these are brownish in color.
• When fried, remove from oil and keep these dough balls aside until these cool down a bit.
• Using a food processor/grinder, grind all these balls into a fine powder.  Sieve the powder such that there are no lumps.
• Add powdered sugar, cardamom powder, and powdered nutmeg into the powder. Mix well. Add 1/8 cup of warm ghee.  Bring the powder together to shape these into desired shaped laddos.  Use more ghee if needed.  
• Roll the laddus in khuskhus.

Offer it to God and Enjoy the yummy laddus :)
