Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add gram flour, yellow food color and cooking soda. Mix everything well. Pour water little by little and mix the batter until it is thick but runny. Heat oil for deep frying the boondi. Place the boondi ladle over the hot oil at a height. Take a laddle of batter and pour it over the boondi ladle. Using another ladle, make circular motion. Fry the boondi for less than a minute. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain onto tissue paper. Now prepare the sugar syrup. In a pan with sugar, add water until the sugar is immersed. In 5-7 minutes on medium flame, the sugar syrup will bubble and begin to thicken. Switch off the heat, add cardamom powder. add the edible camphor. Dump all the prepared boondi into the sugar syrup. Mix it well and let it sit until it is warm enough to handle. Meanwhile, fry cashews and raisins along with cloves in ghee and add them to the boondi. Once the mixture is warm enough, you can make laddus. Take a handful of the boondi and start pressing it gently to make ladoos. Store these in an airtight container.
