Besan Ladoo is a popular Indian sweet dish made of Besan Ladoo is a popular Indian sweet dish made of Besan (chickpea flour or gram flour), sugar and ghee. Besan is roasted in ghee till golden brown appearance with nutty fragrance. Then sugar is added to it. Dry fruit pieces also can be used. Small small balls are then made from this mixture. It has a long shelf life. It is often served at festivals, family events and religious occasions in India.

When making this, remember that the rich flavor of the ladoo depends on how well you cook the besan. Under-cooking it will leave behind a raw taste, which will ruin the whole recipe. So, make sure you cook it well. The proportion of ghee and besan is also important as you might end up with a dry or very soft ladoo if it is not done right.

Surti Sev Khamni, it is a popular savory street fo Surti Sev Khamni, it is a popular savory street food from Surat in Gujarat. I have seen at many places, Amiri Sev Khaman is served as Sev Khamani, where khaman dhoklas are crushed and served with sev on top.
Now you must be wondering, what is Amiri Sev Khaman? Actually, most of the people think, both are same but there are not. Being Gujarati, I have a chance of understanding the difference between these two dishes. Amiri Sev Khaman, is fluffy gram flour dhoklas, known as Khaman and sev is garnished on top of it. And Sev Khamani, is crushed chana dal, cooked by adding lots of ginger-garlic and green chilies, served with a topping of sev on it.
