  • Note:At this stage you can add yellow color if required.The besan flour have natural yellow color so it is not necessary to add the yellow color.
  • Keep the batter aside and we will make the sugar syrup now.
  • Take a pan and mix 1 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of water.Heat the mix till you get a thread like consistency.
  • To see whether the consistency is correct take a bowl of water add 2-3 drops of sugar syrup into it, the syrup will become small balls instead of dissolving into the water.

  • Take a pan for frying the pan, Heat oil in it.
  • Add 2-3 drops of batter on to the heated oil.The batter should fry immediately and come on top of the oil that is the required temperature of oil.If the consistency of batter is correct it will form a round boondi else will be thick and won't be round.If you get like that add little water into the batter and mix it. 
  • Take the ladle with the hole and hold it on top of the heated oil and pour the batter through it.So that the batter will fall into the oil as drop by drop.
  • Take the boondi out of oil within 20-25 sec. Prepare boondi with the remaining batter in the same manner.
  • Make sure our sugar syrup is still hot,else you can just heat the syrup.
  • Add the sugar syrup into the prepared boondi little by little.Mix it well with the boondi.

  • When it is hot itself make small rounds (ladoo shape).While making balls just squeeze and press tight to shape the ladoos with your hands.
