Sweet Boondi / Meethi Boondi is an Indian sweet recipe with crisper surface and sugary juice within. This homemade Sweet Boondi / Meethi Boondi Recipe is apt for Prasad during festivals or as a sweet munch after meals.
Ingredients:
1 cup Gram flour (besan)
1 pinch Baking soda
1/2 cup Water
Sunflower Oil , to deep fry
3/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Water
Method:
To prepare Sweet Boondi/Meethi Boondi, take gram flour/besan in a sifter and sieve it.
In a Mixing bowl, mix gram flour, baking soda with water. The batter should be little thick, a bit thinner than normal bajji batter.
2 Slotted ladles are needed. One for making boondi and another for draining boondi from oil.
Now heat oil for deep frying. Oil should be moderately hot. To test, drop a pea size batter in the oil, batter should rise immediately without changing color which means oil is ready for frying boondis.
Now,hold one slotted ladle just over oil (neither too low nor too high). Use another deep ladle to pour batter over slotted ladle. Pour one ladle full of batter over the slotted ladle and spread in a circular motion by the back of the deep ladle. The batter will fall drop by drop.
Fry them till little crispy. Drain and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the process with rest of the batter.
Then make sugar syrup from 3/4 cup sugar & 1/2 cup water of 1 string consistency by bringing it to boil. Add in cardamom powder, mix well to make syrup.
Gently toss all the boondis and mix till boondis are well coated in sugar syrup.
Let this set for 1-2 hours until the sugar syrup is completely absorbed by Sweet Boondi / Meethi Boondi and the sugar in the syrup is crystallized.
Serve this as dessert after meals.
