Boondi laddu


Ingredients:
besan/chickpea flour : 2 cups
sugar : 1 cup
dry fruits (raisins and cashew nuts) : 25 gms
cardamom powder : 1/4 tsp
camphor : a pinch
saffron : a pinch
oil : for deep frying
First make sugar syrup with one thread consistency by pouring little water to the sugar and bringing it to a boil. Then switch off the flame and add the cardamon powder, camphor and saffron to it and keep aside.
Next mix the besan with water to make a thick batter. Heat oil in a vessel . Now pour the besan batter on the boondi ladle and tap it . Fry till it is golden brown in colour and immediately pour it into the sugar syrup. If the boondi is not round, check the batter by adding water or besan. Finally fry the dry fruits too and add to the sugar syrup. Mix it thoroughly and allow it to cool for some time. Now make small balls out of it and serve it.
