Sweet Boondhi

Cuisine: Indian Category: Sweet/Dessert Difficulty level: Easy Prep Time: 5 mins Cook time: 25 mins Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients Besan flour 1 Cup Baking soda A tiny pinch Yellow food colour A small pinch Salt A small pinch Sugar 1 cup Water 1/2 cup+ 1/4 cup Cardamom Powder A Generous pinch Saffron Few strands Edible Camphour A small piece Sugar candy 10 Cashew 6 Raisins 6 Ghee 1 teaspoon Oil For Frying Preparation     1.     Mix besan flour, salt, baking soda, salt and yellow food color. Add 1/4 cup water slowly and mix evenly to form an uniform batter without any lumps.

Method            1.     To check whether the oil is hot enough add one drop of batter and see if the boondhi rises immediately.     2.     You can make boondhis by pouring the batter through dotted spatula or the proper boondhi maker. In my case since I din have both I used applam strainer it worked well too :).     3.     Drain the boondhis in kitchen towel. Finish the batter before proceeding to next step.     4.     Add ghee to another pan and roast the raisins along with cashew. Once they become golden brown, keep them aside.    5.     Add sugar and water just enough to immerse it. Mix slowly till sugar completely dissolves.      6.     Boil the syrup till it reach one string consistency. Switch off the flame and add saffron and cardamom powder.      7.     Add the boondhis. Crush the edible camphour and add to the boondhis.     8.     Add the raisins, sugar candy and mix everything well. Once they get cool down store in air tight container and enjoy :).

Notes      ·         Boondhi batter consistency is very important. If it is too thin boondhi will fall flatso add some besan in that case.      ·         If the batter is very thick boondhis may have tails. Batter should be little thin than dosa batter that is the correct consistency.       ·         Preferably use a wide kadai to fry the boondhis.      ·         You can divide batter into three portions and add three different food color (yellow, orange, green ) to each batter to make tri color boondhis :).
