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.

Nutritional Value of Annamayya Laddu
Annamayya Laddu, a delightful Indian sweet, is not just a treat for the taste buds but also offers a significant nutritional value. This traditional sweet is primarily made from ingredients such as jaggery, chickpea flour (besan), ghee, and a variety of nuts. Jaggery serves as a natural sweetener and is packed with essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugar. The chickpea flour provides a good source of plant-based protein, which is crucial for muscle development and overall health. Additionally, the use of ghee—a clarified butter—adds healthy fats that are beneficial for digestion and can contribute to improved skin health. The inclusion of nuts not only enhances the flavor of Annamayya Laddu but also boosts its nutritional content, providing a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats that support heart health and cognitive function.
Nutritional Significance of Annamayya Laddu
Understanding the nutritional significance of Annamayya Laddu goes beyond its delightful taste; it reveals how this sweet can be part of a balanced diet. The nutritional benefits of Annamayya Laddu extend to its ability to provide instant energy, largely due to the complex carbohydrates found in chickpea flour and the simple sugars in jaggery. These components can be particularly advantageous for those leading an active lifestyle or needing an energy boost during festivities and celebrations. Furthermore, traditional Indian sweets like Annamayya Laddu are often made with the intent of nourishing the body. The combination of whole, natural ingredients means that they deliver vitamins and minerals that promote overall well-being. When consumed in moderation, Annamayya Laddu can be a wholesome treat that nourishes both body and soul, making it a cherished item on many households’ festive menus. Whether you’re indulging during a celebration or looking for a sweet treat that offers health benefits, understanding the nutritional content of Annamayya Laddu highlights its place in both traditional cuisine and modern dietary practices.
