Diwali-Special Boondi Ladoo Recipe

Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in India. It marks the victory of good over evil and is a time to celebrate with family and friends. A major part of Diwali celebrations includes exchanging sweets and snacks with loved ones. One of the most popular and traditional sweets during Diwali is Boondi Ladoo. These delicious round-shaped sweets are made of deep-fried gram flour pearls, soaked in sugar syrup and then shaped into small balls. In this blog post, we will share an easy-to-follow recipe for making Diwali-Special Boondi Ladoo using simple ingredients and HTML tags.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups besan (gram flour)
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• 1 tsp rose water
• 1 tbsp chopped almonds and pistachios

Instructions:

1. Mix besan and water in a large bowl to form a smooth batter. The consistency of the batter should be similar to pancake batter.
2. In a deep frying pan, heat ghee on medium flame.
3. Using a ladle with holes, pour the batter slowly into the hot ghee in a circular motion. This will form small droplets of besan which will fry and turn into golden pearls.
4. Stir the pearls occasionally and fry until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the ghee and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
5. In a separate saucepan, prepare the sugar syrup by mixing sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and then add cardamom powder and rose water.
6. Once the sugar syrup reaches a one-string consistency, add the fried boondi pearls into it. Mix well and turn off the heat.
7. Let the mixture cool down for a few minutes.
8. Take a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a small ball. Continue this process with the rest of the mixture.
9. Place a chopped almond or pistachio on top of each ladoo for garnish.
10. Your Diwali-Special Boondi Ladoo is ready to be served!

To make your Diwali-Special Boondi Ladoo more festive and appealing, you can add food colors to the batter before frying the pearls. You can also experiment with different flavors by adding saffron or nutmeg powder to the sugar syrup. These ladoos can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. They also make perfect presents for your friends and family during Diwali.
