Boondi laddoo

Boondi Laddoo is a sweet that not many people make it at home in the past. I used to think that it can only be made in sweet stall. Now things have changed that anyone can make anything at home. Feels good to make it at home. I first made this when my motherinlaw visited my place and she was surprised to see me make it . What else you need than good comment from motherinlaw. Mission accomplished.
It is little time consuming than other sweets but worth the time spent.

Ingredients
( makes around 12)

To make boondi:
Besan or gram flour - 1 and 1/4 cup
Water - more than half cup or as needed.

To make syrup:

 Sugar- 1 and 1/2 cup
 Water- 3/4 cup
 Cardamom - 4

Seasoning is up to you. Either almonds or cashews or dried grapes or cloves, up to you.

Perforated  ladle - a flat spatula with lots of round holes to make boondi
Oil for deep frying.

Method :
1. Make sugar syrup first.
2. Add water and sugar and let it boil.
3. Keep the flame in medium heat and keep checking the sugar syrup for half thread consistency.
4. To check half thread consistency, take a drop of sugar syrup in your thumb and
    press the index finger and thumb and when u pull apart  you should get a string that breaks in half.
5. Once the sugar syrup is done, keep it aside and start making the boondi.
6. Mix besan and water to form a batter. The consistency should be such that the batter when poured in the ladle should drop down easily. It shouldn't be more watery or more thick that it doesn't fall.
7. Heat oil in a pan.
8. When the oil is hot, put the ladle just above the oil and pour batter in the ladle slowly.
9. The batter will fall down and form boondi in hot oil. Once the oil is filled with boondi, stop it.
10. Let the boondi cook. Boondi shouldn't cook for long time.
11. It shouldn't be too crispy too. About 2 minutes take the boondi and put it in sugar syrup.
12. I personaly grind half of the boondi and add it in sugar syrup. That way I feel everything blends together.
13. Once all the boondis are done, add cardamom ,any seasoning u wish and try to take the boondi from excess sugar syrup.
14. Try to make ball using two hands. In case if you couldn't make ball, make a rough ball and after sometime u can make it into a perfect ball.

Yummy boondi laddoo is ready.
Enjoy cooking and tasting.
