Stone-Ground Coarse Besan for Authentic Besan Ladoo and Indian Mithai

Jalpur Ladu Besan Flour - 1kg is a coarser-grade besan (gram flour) stone-ground by Jalpur Millers, specifically milled for making traditional Indian sweets. Unlike fine besan used for batters, ladu besan has a slightly grainy texture that gives besan ladoo and other mithai their authentic, crumbly richness.

Why Choose Jalpur Ladu Besan?

Jalpur Millers is a Leicester-based, family-run mill with decades of heritage in authentic South Asian flour milling. Their ladu besan is stone-ground to preserve the natural nuttiness of chana dal — the key to a deeply flavoured, aromatic besan ladoo that melts in the mouth.

Best Uses for Ladu Besan

• Besan Ladoo — the classic use; roast in ghee until golden and fragrant, then mix with sugar and cardamom
• Mysore Pak — traditional South Indian sweet made with besan, ghee and sugar
• Besan Halwa — rich, ghee-roasted besan dessert with sugar and cardamom
• Mohanthal — Gujarati fudge-style sweet made with coarse besan and ghee

Ladu Besan vs Fine Besan — Which Do You Need?

Use ladu besan (this product) for sweets and mithai where a slightly grainy, crumbly texture is desired. Use fine besan for pakoras, kadhi, dhokla and chilla where a smooth batter is needed.
