Boondi ladoo
Hello friends , sorry for the sudden disappearance from blogging.I had a problem with my writer and could not upload the posts. At last my hubby resolved the problem 🙂

Coming to this post, I learnt this from my MIL.She is an expert in making badusha, ladoo, adhirasam ,burfi etc.I told her to make this boondhi ladoo for my husband’s birthday and of course for blogging too Happy.This is our South Indian style Boondhi ladoo which is very popular in Tamil nadu.This is prepared by mixing fried boondhi in thick sugar syrup & made as balls.The consistency of sugar syrup is very important for this sweet recipe.In North India, people make a ladoo named Motichoor ladoo using the same ingredients but in a different way. I will try to share that recipe in future.Now lets see how to make boondi laddu with pictures !

Cuisine: Indian
Category: Sweet
Serves: 12 nos
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 20 Minutes
Total time: 30 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup – 200ml
  • Besan flour / Kadalai maavu – 1 cup
  • Rice flour – 2 tbsp
  • Cooking soda – 1 pinch
  • Yellow color – 2 pinches

For Syrup

  • Sugar – 1.5 cups
  • Water – 3/4 cup
  • Cardamom- 4 nos ( powdered )
  • Cloves – 3 nos
  • Cashews – 10 nos (Broken into two)
  • Sugar candy/Kalkandu – 2 tbsp
METHOD


  • Take the flour,food color & cooking soda in a bowl.Add water and make a bajji batter  consistency ( Batter must be smooth & slightly thin )
  • Heat oil in a kadai.Take the batter and pour it in a sieve or ladle with round holes.
  • Tap it gently so that small balls of the batter fall into the oil.Fry in batches and set aside.(Do not deep fry the balls till crispy .The balls should be soft .So fry for few seconds) 
  • Start making the syrup only after making boondi.If you make sugar syrup in the beginning,it will crystallize.
  • Now take a pan.Add sugar & cover with water.Let it boil & make the syrup of **two string consistency or gathering stage.( ie.pour few drops of syrup in a plate with water.If u try to gather the syrup,it will come together but you will not be able to shape them or take it in hand.It will dissolve) Check out my sugar syrup post for better understanding.Please be careful because this stage will come immediately after single string consistency.So be careful.You can add few drops of lemon juice to avoid crystallization.But it is not needed as you are going to add the prepared boondi immediately after the syrup is done.Act fast here.
  • Add cardamom powder, sugar candy,Fried cloves & cashews. Add the fried balls to the syrup and mix well.
  • Grease the hands with ghee and make balls of desired size when the mixture is still warm.
  • If u wish to serve as boondi, just mix the sugar syrup,cardamom powder,fried cloves and mix with a ladle. serve!! 

Enjoy !
Note
  • Soft ball consistency :Take the syrup in a bowl with water and gather the syrup.U will able to gather in one place but you cannot take the syrup in your fingers.It will dissolve.This stage is achieved in few seconds after the one string consistency.So keep an eye.This is also called as two string consistency.If you are able to bear the heat,u can test in between the fingers.
  • If the mixture cools down, balls cannot be made properly.
  • If the sugar syrup crystallizes before mixing the fried balls, add little water to the syrup , boil and bring it to the correct consistency.
  • Store the ladoo in an air tight container .Its shelf life is 10 days.
