NOTES
* I have used the besan laddu flour.Its slightly coarse than the fine besan flour.
* You can omit the milk and add ghee to in place of milk.
* Keep a watch on the raisins from 45 seconds.Don't micrwave more than a minute as it gets harder after that.
* The sugar available here is less granulated compared to the Indian supply.If you are trying this in India its better to powder or ground coarse and then add.
