Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed for preparing Boondi Mithai,
- Gram flour (besan) - 1 cup
- Sugar - 2 cups
- Cardamom powder - a pinch
- Ghee - 1 tablespoon
- Mixed nuts of your choice - 1 tablespoon (chopped and fried)
- Baking soda - a pinch (optional)
- Food colour - a pinch (optional)
- Water - 2 cups
- Oil - as required for deep fry.
Preparation Steps
For preparing batter:
- Take a large bowl, add one cup of plain gram flour, cardamom powder, baking soda and around 150ml water then mix it into a batter.
- Dilute a pinch of preferred food colour in water, add it to the batter and mix well.
- Same way, multiple food colours can also be used by dividing the batter into 2-3 different batches for each colour. But this is completely optional.
- Make sure the batter is mixed well with no lumps.
- It is slightly similar to thin dosa batter. You can adjust the consistency by adding more flour or more water as required.
For preparing Boondi:
- In a wide heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep fry and let it heat at high flame.
- Once the oil is hot enough, take a 'Boondi karandi' or any perforated steel plate or ladle and hold it above the pan. Take half a cup of prepared batter and gently pour on the perforated surface.
- If required gently tap on it.
- The batter will start to fall in the shape of small beads through the holes.
- Keep tapping until the batter is completely finished.
- You can keep at low flame while pouring the batter and increase the flame again once done.
- The small balls of Boondi will start to float up at this time and gently keep giving it a mix so that it is cooked evenly.
- Once the sizzling sound and bubbles have stopped take it out and transfer it to a strainer or tissue paper to remove excess oil.
- To avoid the holes getting blocked by batter, clean the ladle as and when required.
- Use a dry cloth to clean it and make sure it is not wet before you start with the next batch.
- Repeat the same process for the remaining batter.
To prepare Boondi Mithai :
- While the Boondi is done, take a different pan, add two cups of sugar and water as it will be required to get the sugar immersed in it.
- Melt it at low to medium flame and stir until you get string consistency.
- At this stage add the prepared Boondi and give it a mix.
- Switch off the flame, add nuts of your choice and ghee and give a final mix of all contents.
- Once the Boondi is coated perfectly with sugar, let it cool down in the pan.
- This can be then served as it is or also can be stored in an airtight container in this case, it can stay fresh for around ten days.

Understanding the Nutritional Value of Boondi Mithai
Boondi Mithai, a beloved Indian sweet made from tiny fried chickpea flour balls coated in syrup, not only delights the palate but also offers a range of nutritional benefits. The nutritional value of Boondi Mithai is rooted in its primary ingredient—chickpea flour, which is high in protein and fiber. This makes it a healthier choice compared to many other sweets that contain refined flour. The sweet’s preparation, which involves the frying process, does add some calories due to the oil; however, the chickpeas contribute essential nutrients such as vitamins B and E, iron, and magnesium. Additionally, the sugar syrup adds energy, making Boondi Mithai a quick source of fuel for the body, especially after strenuous activities. Incorporating Boondi Mithai into celebrations and gatherings not only enhances the festivity but also ensures a nutrient-rich indulgence.
The Nutritional Significance of Boondi Mithai
When assessing the nutritional content of Boondi Mithai, it becomes clear that this delectable treat offers more than just taste. The nutritional significance of Boondi Mithai extends beyond its flavor profile; the ingredients work together to provide various health benefits. For instance, the presence of chickpea flour aids in digestion due to its fiber content, which can help keep the digestive system in check. Furthermore, the moderate glycemic index of Boondi Mithai means it releases energy gradually, making it a better option for those looking to manage their energy levels without drastic spikes in blood sugar. The nutritional benefit of Boondi Mithai is magnified when consumed in moderation, offering a sweet escape while contributing to a balanced diet. Whether enjoyed during festive occasions or as an everyday treat, Boondi Mithai is a delightful way to enjoy traditional Indian sweets while reaping their nutritional rewards.
