Preparation Steps
- In a bowl add a cup of gram flour with two to three tablespoons of ghee and water if required and mix them well into a batter consistency.
- In a wide heavy-bottomed pan, add ghee as required for deep fry and let it melt.
- Once the ghee is heated, use a perforated surface and fry the boondi droplets
- Hold the perforated ladle above the pan and pour in the prepared batter on it.
- Gently tap the ladle and the batter will fall in as tiny droplets. You can rub the batter to and fro if needed.
- Stop when the pan is full and let it fry.
- Fry them until it turns light brown and remove them using a strainer and transfer it to a dry bowl.
- Continue the process for the remaining batter. Clean the ladle with water and dry it with a cloth if the batter has dried out and blocked the holes.
- Once the batter is done, in the same pan, fry cashews, almonds, and raisins separately and keep it aside.
- Meanwhile, in a different pan add one and a half cup of sugar and a quarter cup of water. Melt it into a sugar syrup. Keep stirring occasionally and switch off the flame when it is done.
- Transfer the fried balls of boondi to the sugar syrup. Soon the boondi will absorb the sugar syrup.
- Add fried cashews, almonds and raisins.
- Add rock candy, cardamom powder, edible camphor and mix all the contents.
- While mixing slightly smash them and add one or two tablespoons of ghee.
- Grease your palm with ghee as well and roll the prepared mixture into small-sized balls.
- Garnish with sliced almonds if preferred and it is ready to eat.

Health Benefits of Annamayya Laddu
Annamayya Laddu is not just a delightful treat enjoyed during festivals and special occasions; it also comes packed with numerous health benefits. Made primarily from a blend of chickpea flour, sugar, and ghee, Annamayya Laddu is rich in essential nutrients that promote overall well-being. The chickpea flour, or besan, is a great source of protein and dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and provides lasting energy throughout the day. Additionally, the ghee used in these laddus is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and healthy fats that support heart health. The use of jaggery, a natural sweetener, instead of refined sugar enhances the nutritional value while offering minerals such as iron and magnesium, contributing to better blood circulation and improved metabolic health. As such, indulging in Annamayya Laddu can be a guilt-free option that not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also supports your health.

Integrating Annamayya Laddu into your diet can provide an instant energy boost, making it an excellent choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. These sweets can serve as a natural source of energy before or after workouts, helping with muscle recovery and stamina. Furthermore, the comforting ingredients in Annamayya Laddu can have a calming effect on the mind, making it a perfect treat to enjoy during stress or anxiety.
