Sweet Boondi

Last week I had some guest  to come over. I was thinking of making sweet dish at home. Then on searching I found that sweet boondi can be prepared. I had some left over gulab jamun and then I thought of mixing sweet boondi and gulab jamun and it taste really good. I have tasted such combination in India.

To make sweet boondi you will need :-

1 cup besan ( chickpea flour)

Water as needed

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup water (for sugar syrup)

4-5 strands of kesar

1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

Oil for frying

Take a bowl and add besan to it and then add water as needed to make pouring consistency batter. The batter should be such that it should go down from spatula which has hole in it (jharo in India). Keep oil on wide pan and when the oil gets hot then take this spatula which has hole and pass this besan mixture from it. Do not overcrowd them. Be careful so that you do not burn. Then turn them after some time and when it gets cooked then keep it aside after taking out from oil with the help of spatula.

For making sugar syrup add sugar and add water till the sugar gets dissolved. Put it on flame and mix well. Allow it to boil. Then add cardamom powder and kesar to the sugar syrup.

Add all the boondi to sugar syrup and mix well. Soak boondi till 1-2 hours. After that it is ready to serve. It can stay good for 1 day at room temperature after that it stays good for 3-4 days in refrigerator.
