In this recipe post, I’ll share how to prepare sweet boondhi.
These tiny sweet round balls are made of besan and dipped in sugar syrup. They are often offered as prasad (offering) in temples in India.
Boondi are small tiny round balls made of besan (gram flour).The batter, which is made of besan is passed through a ladle with holes.As the batter drops through the ladle into the hot oil, it forms round shape.The size of the boondi will depend of the size of the holes in the ladle.I have used a ladle with medium sized holes, for bigger boondis use a ladle with bigger holes.The boondi are fried and then taken out of hot oil and then dipped in sugar syrup.
