1 cup besan (Bengal gram flour)
ghee for deep-frying
For The Garnish
1/2 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
1 tsp pistachio slivers
1 tsp almond (badam) slivers
Method
For the sugar syrup
- Combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a broad non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a high flame for 5 to 7 minutes or till the sugar syrup is of 1 thread consistency.
- Add the saffron-water mixture, mix well and keep aside.
How to proceed to make sweet boondi
- Combine the besan and ½ cup of water in a bowl and mix well till no lumps remain. Keep aside.
- Heat the ghee in a kadhai and pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of the batter at a time over a large round perforated spoon (boondi jhara) so that boondi drops in the ghee.
- Deep-fry the boondi over a medium flame and remove using a slotted spoon and put them in the warm sugar syrup and mix well.
- Serve the sweet boondi immediately garnished with cardamom powder, pistachio slivers and almond slivers.
Handy tip:
- At step no 2, hold the perforated spoon 3 to 4 inches above the kadhai as the ghee is very hot.
