HEALTH & BENEFITS

Besan ladoos are traditional Indian sweet treats that are often served during festivals and celebrations. Besan, also known as gram flour, is high in protein and fiber, making it a healthier alternative to other flours. Cashews are a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, while cardamom has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may aid in digestion.
