Sweet Boondi


Have been having these pictures for a while, decided to post them now as I keep forgetting the ratio of water/sugar! Quick recipe on the boondhi for ladoo..

* 2 cups besan + water, just mix and make a medium thin batter
* add oil to tava and when hot, pour it in boondhi spoon (karandi!)
* That will make the rounds and cooks fast.
* Make it crispy if you want to use it for kaaraa boondhi (will post it soon)
* And remove them from oil using the right gadget! (a proper strainer, makes life very easy :-))

Syrup - for 1 cup besan, 1 cup sugar if it is for boondi. For ladoo, add more sugar.
Making sugar syrup is tricky too if you are making ladoo.
Otherwise just add half measure water to sugar, keep boiling, add saffron and cardamom.
After it starts to crystalize on the vessel's wall, pour it on top of the boondhi and mix well.
Soon it will dry and boondhi will look like this...Ladoo Pictures

Another one I tried which I dint want to try again..too oily...Jelabi Pictures
