When I make ladoo,i usually make the them a lot and store them.
1)You can store it in airtight container for 2 weeks.
2)Its always best to refridgerate due to weather fluctuations.Put them in ziplocks or airtight container and let it stay in refridgerator for couple of weeks.When you are ready to eat,just microwave them for 16 seconds.
About Besan
1)Besan is the flour of yellow lentils called channa dal- A pale yellow flour you can gt in any indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi grocery store in USA.I even saw in amazon.com recently.
2)If you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, you must avoid flours containing gluten like wheat flour.Besan is gluten free and can substitute for wheat flour in gluten free diets.
3)1 cup besan contains about 20.6g protein,4.5g of Iron.
4)Besan contains more protein than in wheat flour!
