How to make Boondi Laddu
Prepare Boondi Batter
- Step 1
Place a sieve over a bowl and strain the besan. Add water to the bowl and mix to prepare a smooth and thin batter.
- Step 2
Transfer the batter into a piping bag, seal it with a rubber band, and cut the tip thinly.
Fry the Boondi
- Step 1
Heat oil in a pan until it is medium hot.
- Step 2
Hold the piping bag and pour the batter into the hot oil in small droplets.
- Step 3
Fry the boondi intermittently until it becomes crispy and lightly browned.
Prepare Sugar Syrup and Mix
- Step 1
In a pan, add sugar, water, and orange food color. Mix well and heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Step 2
Reduce the heat and add the fried boondi to the syrup. Cook on low heat until the boondi absorbs the syrup completely.
- Step 3
Once the syrup dries out completely, turn off the heat. Add melon seeds and ghee, then mix everything together.
Shape the Laddus
- Step 1
Let the mixture cool slightly. Take small amounts of the mixture in your hands and shape them into round laddus.
