    Even though i have posted my all time favourite motichoor ladoo here before, i still wanted to share boondi ladoo recipe. The procedure for both the ladoos are little similar. Finally i got a chance to make it today and totally loved it..It was like yum..

    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.
    Pin
    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.

    I hope you will try this for this diwali and let me know how it turned out for you..

    Preparation Time : 10 mins
    Cooking Time : 25 to 30 mins
    Makes : 12 ladoos

    Ingredients:
    Gram Flour / Kadalai mavu / Besan - 1 cup
    Baking Soda / Cooking Soda - ⅛ tsp
    Yellow Food Colouring - a pinch
    Water - ½ cup + adjust accordingly
    Sugar - 1 ¼ cup
    Water - ½ cup
    Cardamom Powder / Yelakai Podi - 1 tsp
    Cloves - ½ tsp powdered
    Cashewnuts - 10 broken into small pieces
    Raisans - 15 pieces
    Kalkandu / Sugar Candy - 1 tblspn
    Oil for Deep Frying
    Ghee - 1 tsp
    Method:
    Take gram flour in a sifter and sieve it. Add in water and mix to a smooth batter. 
    Add in water slowly and make it into a smooth batter. Now add in some baking soda and food colouring. Mix well. The batter should be little thick, it should be thinner than bajji batter. Make the batter perfectly then only you will get round boondi.
    Now heat oil for deep frying.
    Now take a boondi karandi or a perforated ladle. Hold it over oil. Pour a ladleful of batter over the karandi and spread it out. The boondis will fall drop by drop.
    Fry the boondi till they are little soft. Drain them and set aside.
    Take sugar
    and water in a pan, mix well so it is melted. Bring it to a boil and cook till
    it attain a single string stage. When you take the spoon from the syrup and
    see, the last drop falling from the syrup form a single string like
    consistency.
    At this
    point, take it off the heat and add in cardamom powder, clove powder, food colouring and mix well.
    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.
    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.
    Pour this over the boondi and add in sugar candy. Mix well.
    Take a small portion of this mix and shape it into a tight ladoo.
    Do this for all the mixture. Let this set for 2 to 3 hours untill it gets firm. Then Serve.

        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/

      Hi Aarthi,
      I made these ladoo today. Followed the same measurement but my ladoos don't look moist like yours,they look dry. What can be the reason?
