Put 2 sticks of butter in a heavy-bottom pan and heat

After the butter melts, add besan (gram flour) to the pan and mix

Patiently stir the gram flour on low-medium heat for 20-25 minutes until the gram flour is light brown and you can smell its aroma

Then you turn off the flame and put it aside to cool for about 30 minutes

After the mixture has cooled, add powdered sugar, elaichi (cardamom) powder and slivered almonds to the besan (gram flour) and mix well

Take a small amount of mixture into your palm and gently press and roll it to make a smooth, round ball (generally the size of a ping-pong ball)

After making laddoos of the entire mixture, garnish each laddoo by sprinkling some pistachio powder on top.

Store in an air-tight container until you wish to serve them.

Note: If you do not have slivered almonds, you can coarsely chop regular almonds and use them.
