Boondi Laddu

An easy way of making Boondi Laddus. My mother gave a big order to some girl who makes Ladoos/Laddus back in India and in the last minute she could not bring those. So, she was kind of upset about it and I thought of making her happy by making these easy Laddus for us to eat.

I never tried this recipe this way before but I felt this was quite easy to make and in less than 30 mins, we made about 25 laddus with 350 g Bhoondi. Make sure you buy plain bhoondi with no spices added to it.

You need..

a packet of Bhoondi from an Indian Store (350g)

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup water

2 cardammon, crushed

few dry fruits

ghee according to your taste

milk to bind (optional)

1. First make sugar syrup of 1 string consistency.
2. Fry dry fruits in ghee (this is optional).
3. Warm Boondi in microwave for few seconds and crush some, say 1/4 cup and then add all to the sugar syrup and mix well till the boondi absors all the sugar.
4. Add crushed cardammon and dry fruits and mix well.
5. Switch off the stove and leave that aside just for few minutes until the mixture becomes little cold and start making laddus immediately. Keep a glass of cold milk on the side, rub your hands with milk or sprinkle some on the boondi and make Laddus. You should finish making those Laddus when the boondi is warm otherwise it is difficult for the boondi to stick together.

You can remove some boondi aside and add colors like red or green to make those look more colorful and beautiful.
