    • Yellow Food Colouring - a pinch
    • Water - ½ cup + adjust accordingly

    It is so easy to make, the two tricky part is getting the sugar syrup consistency right as well as forming the ladoo shape. But i have made the second one easy for you by showing a technique which my mom told me. The sugar syrup part is not difficult too, i have showed you the picture for getting it right.

    Normally people shape the ladoos by pressing the whole boondis together after adding the sugar syrup. But my mom and perimma told me to bash the boondis after the syrup has added so the oil from the boondi comes out and bind with the syrup and keeps the ladoo moist and soft.

    2. Add in water slowly and make it into a smooth batter.

    6. Now take a boondi karandi or a perforated ladle. Hold it over oil.
    7. Pour a ladleful of batter over the karandi and spread it out. The boondis will fall drop by drop.

    9. Take sugar and water in a pan, mix well so it is melted.
    10. Bring it to a boil and cook till it attain a single string stage.
    11. When you take the spoon from the syrup and see, the last drop falling from the syrup form a single string like consistency.
    12. At this point, take it off the heat and add in cardamom powder, clove powder, food coloring and mix well.
    13. Now take boondis in a bowl, add in the sugar syrup and use the back of a big ladle to bash the boondis so it gets little mashed up.
    14. Now Heat ghee in a small pan, add in cashews and fry till it is light golden, add in raisans and fry till golden, add in cloves and mix well.
    15. Pour this over the boondi and add in sugar candy. Mix well.

        Ma'am the best and the main ingredient to make boondi LADOO is to make them with good quality ghee . recently one of my friends told me about A2 cow ghee. It is different from desi ghee that is available in the market that why ordered it it was awesome and I made BOONDI LADOO with the same it was very tasty. I ordered them from this website https://www.girorganic.com/
