Boondi Laddu

Ingredients:

For Boondi:

2 cups Besan

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

Water

Oil or Ghee for frying

Crushed nuts

For Syrup:

2 cups Sugar

3/4th cup water

10-15 Cardamoms crushed

Method:

Make sugar syrup adding 2 cups of sugar and 3/4 cup water. When it boils and starts thickening take one or two drops of sugar syrup and put it in a bowl of water. If it forms a ball your syrup is ready else you need to cook more time. Remove from heat and Add Cardamoms.

To make Boondi, Mix Besan, Baking soda and water to make a thick batter. The test of correct batter is that when you put a small drop of better in water it should come up. You will need spoon (jaroo) that has small holes. You can use a sieve insted of a big spoon. Pour your batter on it and use another spoon to push the batter through it over the hot oil.

When you are finished making all the boondi, add it in Sugar syrup. Add crushed nuts and mix well. Keep aside about 10-12 minutes. Make laddus. Let it cool. Your Boondi Laddus are ready.
