Sweet Boondhi

                            Sweet Boondhi was not prepared by me for some time.At least Kara Boondhi is prepared frequently as a necessary constituent for mixture.Little of that Kara Boondhi is kept asidealways by me to make Boondhi Raitas or Thayir Vadai.

                         This time, Boondhi was prepared for the naming ceremony of our sweet little Prince, fondly called Aarji.

                         This is very easy to make and only the sugar syrup has to be perfect.



Sweet Boondhi







Ingredients :

Besan Flour/ Kadalai Mavu    1 cup
Sugar    1.25 cup
Cardamom Powder, Cashew, Raisins
Yellow Colour,
Ghee   2 tbsp
Oil.

Method :

1. Sieve the flour, mix the colour and prepare a batter like Dosai Batter.

2. Mix 3/4 cup of water with the sugar, mix well and keep on the stove. Keep on stirring and prepare a sugar syrup of a single thread consistency.This is very important.Switch off.

3. Heat oil, pour the batter in the perforated ladle over the oil and gently  press the batter through out the ladle as done for Dosai on the Dosai Tawa.

4. The batter falls like pearl drops but of yellow colour .Do not over crowd the oil.Gently stir the balls after a few seconds and scatter them, that they cooked evenly.

5. Once the sizzling stops, remove from the oil in a tissue paper, the add to the syrup.Repeat with the whole dough and 1 cup of Besan Flour can be done in 4 or 5 batches.You need not even wait till the Boondhis are fully cooked to be crisp as they are to be added to the syrup.

6. Mix all the Boondhis with the syrup, add Cardamom powder, Cashews and Raisins fried in the Ghee. A little bit of edible Camphor can be added.Even 2 or 3 cloves can be powdered and added.

7. At times, the syrup may seem to be excess. Do not panic at it is sure to be absorbed within an hour.The tasty Boondhi is ready.
