Sift gram flour into a bowl and mix with water to form a smooth batter.

Heat ghee or oil in a frying pan until hot, then pour in small amounts of batter to form tiny balls.

Fry the batter balls until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.

In another pot, combine sugar and water to make a syrup, boiling until it reaches a one-string consistency.

Add cardamom powder and orange food color to the syrup, stirring well to combine.

Soak the fried balls in the syrup for a few minutes until they absorb the sweetness.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then shape into small round balls (ladoo) by rolling in your palms.

Garnish with chopped nuts on top of each ladoo.
