Laddoo is a spherical shape sweet which is very popular sweet in India. There are many types of laddoos depending upon the ingredients used. Laddoos are served during festival, religious occasions. In that case, I am making motichoor laddoo( made with small size boondi) in this post.


Watch the below video for full recipe:




Recipe:

  • Prep time - 15 mins
  • Cooking time - 1 hr to 75 mins
  • Yields - 12 large laddoos
Ingredients:
  • Chickpeas flour - 2 cups
  • Sugar - 8 ounces , castor sugar
  • Water for mixing the batter
  • Water - 4 ounces, for making sugar syrup
  • Salt - a pinch ( optional)
  • Kernels - White pumpkin, Sunflower ( of your choice)
  • Pistachios - sliced, few for garnishing
  • Oil or clarified butter for deep frying
  • Food coloring - Red and yellow
Method:
  • Make the oil to get heated over med/ low heat in a deep frying pan.
  • Make the chickpeas flour into a very thin batter along with salt and food coloring without lumps. Don't add too much food coloring. Test it before you add more.
  • Using a soup ladle and a skimmer ( colander spoon) with small pores, pour the batter in hot oil slowly.
  • Do not overload the hot oil with more batter drippings as it will make the balls stick together. Therefore, resulting in a clumsy cluster of batter. Do it slowly. It's okay if it takes more time.
  • Once the raw batter touches the hot oil, it will float out on the surface and the bubbles will be vanished once they are cooked nicely. 
  • Cook it for 40 secs and remove the Boondi balls using a strainer. Keep it aside.
  • In another vessel, add the sugar and water. Place it over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves in water. Then over medium heat, let it be boiled for 2 mins.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the boondi balls in along with hot sugar syrup and kernels. Mix well and let it stand for 15 mins until the boondi becomes soggy.
  • Make it into round shaped laddoos. 
  • Serve it in room temperature.
