A wonderful high protein treat!

185 ml unsalted butter

500 ml chickpea flour, sift after measuring

40 ml chopped fresh walnuts (laddu is not nice if nuts are not super fresh, then rather omit)

1 ml ground nutmeg

250 ml fructose, sifted after measuring

Melt butter in heavy based saucepan over low heat.

Add chickpea flour, walnut pieces and nutmeg.

Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 15 – 20 minutes, until mixture becomes deep golden brown and loose in consistency. (Do not skimp on this time, the darker brown the mixture the better it tastes)

Remove pan from heat, and stir in fructose until well combined, (mixture is still loose in consistency)

Spoon mixture into lightly buttered glass dish, spread it out and down in kneading fashion with metal spoon. Keep working the mixture, until firm, then cut into pieces. Refrigerate.

Serve cool or at room temperature.
