#EDDesserts #EDMeetha #ED #EDBoondi Heres my 1st attempt at making wonderfully sweet Boondi Preparation Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: 25 mins Makes 4 servings Ingredients For The Sugar Syrup 1 cup sugar 2 pinches saffron (kesar) strands dissolved in 2 tsp water Other Ingredients 1 cup besan (bengal gram / chick pea flour) ghee for deep-frying For The Garnish 1/2 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder 1 tsp pistachio slivers 1 tsp almond (badam) slivers 1 tsp cashews Method For the sugar syrup 1. Combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a broad non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a high flame for 5 to 7 minutes or till the sugar syrup is of 1 thread consistency. 2. Add the saffron-water mixture, mix well and keep aside. How to proceed 1. Combine the besan and ½ cup of water in a bowl and mix well till no lumps remain. Keep aside. 2. Heat the ghee in a kadhai and pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of the batter at a time over a large round perforated spoon (boondi jhara) so that boondi drops in the ghee. 3. Deep-fry the boondi over a medium flame and remove using a slotted spoon and put them in the warm sugar syrup and mix well. Repeat step 3 to make more batches of boondi. 4. Serve immediately garnished with cardamom powder, pistachio slivers , cahews and almond slivers. Tip: 1. At step no 2, hold the perforated spoon 3 to 4 inches above the kadhai as the ghee is very hot.
