Instructions

Mix well with water without lumps.
The batteru2019s consistency should be like this.
Heat oil in kadai and with the help of a perforated laddle and start tapping.Slowly the boondis will start falling on the oil.When it is three fourth cooked take them out and place them in a vessel.we don't want crisp boondis here.
Meanwhile make a sugar syrup with sugar and water.In a vessel add sugar and water till it is evenly mixed.Make a one string consistency and you can do this by dipping your index finger and thumb so that it forms a one string.
Once it reaches the one string consistency add cardamom powder.Sugar syrup is ready.
Now transfer the fried boondis on the syrup and repeat the boondi frying process by wiping the back side of the laddle to ensure making round boondis. Also fry cashews and raisins and add to the sugar syrup boondi mixture.
Also add sugar candy and cloves.
Make ladoos while the sugar syrup is still warm.Allow it to cool.
Store in an air tight box.
Enjoy boondi ladoos for Diwali this year and treat your loved ones.
