Basen pulki/pakodi is used in many dishes.  It is very easy and simple to make. I have many childhood memories related to it whenever my mother made it for kadhi, we start eating before putting it in the curry.  Here below is the whole process how we can make it:
Ingredients:
2 small cups of besan
1/2 tsp of turmeric powder
pinch of heeng
1 tsp of cumin seeds
pinch of soda bi carb
salt to taste
1 cup of water
Method
1. Take two cups of besan. Add salt, turmeric, cumin, and heeng to it.  Make batter with one cup of water. Add water gradually. If we add water at one time, there is chances of becoming lump in it.
2.  Next add soda bi carb and mix it with light hand.  Alternatively, if we dont want to add soda, then stir it with fingers till it becomes very light.  To test it, take water in a bowl and pour the little batter in it, if it starts floating, it is ready,
3.  Now heat the oil in a frying pan.
4. Put the batter for pakodis with spoon or with hand in the hot oil. Turn it and when it is done, take it out from the oil.
5. Pakodis/fulkis are ready.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!

Besan and sattu ke ladoo are made of coarse besan flour.  Sometimes it is difficult to get the coarse besan.  Therefore, here I have made it with besan, sooji and maida to give it little bit grainly texture. Home made besan ladoos are more tastier and delicious than market bought.  Its making is little bit tricky.  Here is how I made it:
 Ingredients
4 cups (500grams) of besan
1 cup of maida (all purpose flour)
1 cup of semolina
1+3/4 (quarter to two) cups of pure ghee(melted)
3+1/2 cups of Boora
2 tbsp of water
1 cup of  channa sattu or as required
Method
1. Sieve all the flours.
2. Take the ghee, besan, maida and semolina in a big frying pan. 
3.  Roast it on medium flame stirring constantly.
4.  When it gets brown in color sprinkle two tbsp of water in it to make it little bit grainy.  As we sprinkle water in it, white bubbling can be seen.  Cook it till bubbles disappear.
5. Put off the flame and remove from the gas burner.
6.  Even removing from flame it still needs constantly stirring.
7.  Now let it cool completely.  It should be of room tempertature.
8.  After getting it on room temperature, add the boora for sweetness.  Mix it properly with both hands.
9. After that add sattu as required and mix well. Make ladoos from this mixture. Size can be kept of your choice.  
10.  Delicious besan and sattu ladoos are ready to serve.
Tips
1.  Do not add sugar.  Boora is a good option for sweetness in this ladoo.
2.  Adding maida and sooji is optional.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
