Boondi Laddu recipe
Besan- 1 cup
Sugar- 11/2 cups
Cardomom- 5 or 6
Cloves- 4
Yellow food color- 1 pinch
Cashew and raisins- 10 each
Make the sugar syrup first.
Add water to the sugar and
keep checking the syrup consistency till single thread falls from a ladle.
Immediately
remove from fire.
Add yellow food color to it.
To make boondi, add water to the besan so that the paste
resembles dosa batter, it should not be too watery(boondi will be flat) or too
thick(boondi will be hard).
If you have a ladle with holes in it, pour the batter in
it and fry it in oil at medium high heat.
As the boondi comes out, drain it in a paper
towel and drop it in the sugar syrup.
After finishing all the boondis, add the
fried cashews, raisins, cloves and cardamoms in the syrup.
Let the boondi soak for say
an hour to hour and a half.
Stir occassionally.
Try shaping it into balls.
If
the boondi is still crisp try after it starts soaking.
Makes 15 small laddus.
