Procedure:
Step 1
Always use a wide mixing bowl for battering any kind of batter,same as here place a wide mixing bowl add the dry ingredients along with the amount of water as req to make the boondhi batter.the batter should be like dosa batter little thin not too runny.
Step 2
For TRICOLOR Ladoo -separate the ladoo batter into 3 equal parts.add each color to each individual batter and stir it well.
Step 3
Place a kadai/frying pan and pour some oil for deep frying,make sure the oil should not be smoky hot when the oil get enough hot to pour the boondhi batter .
Step 4
Use the boondhi making large ladle so called “Sarani/Jalli Karandi”,use a milk ladle /kuzhi karandi to take the boondhi batter and place over the batter on the boondhi making ladle/sarani/jalli karandi and pour the batter in a clock wise direction in order to avoid the boondhis overlapping.
Step 5
The boondhis takes only few seconds to cook so keep an eye on it and once the sizzle sounds off you can take off the boondhis from the oil and drop it over dry tissues/paper towel/any dry paper to observe the excess oil
Step 6
While the boondhi’s are resting you can start the sugar syrup process .In a medium vessel mix the water and granulated sugar bring it to boil, when it reaches the ONE STRING Consistency ,add the cardamom powder to the syrup and turn off the flame now add the lemon juice /lemon salt to avoid the crystallization
Step 7
If you feel that your boondhis are too big or uneven, you can coarsely grind the boondhis and keep it in a large bowl for mixing
Step 8
Now you can add the hot sugar syrup into the coarsely grounded boondhis along with a tsp of ghee and mix it, once everything is incorporated well you can make ladoos out of this
NOTE : The boondhi mixture should be bare enough hot to make ladoos.if the mixture become warm/cold it is very hard to make the ball shape.
