Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed for preparing Sweet Boondi,
- 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 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 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 Sweet Boondi:
- 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.
