Tips

Gram Flour (Besan):

  1. Remember to run the Besan through a fine sieve before using it

Water:

  1. The batter should be a little thinner than Dosa batter.

How to drop the Boondis into the Kadhai:

  1. Hold the sieve-ladle near to the hot oil

  2. Pour the batter onto the centre of the sieve –ladle and hold still. The Boondi will drop in round baubles into the hot oil. If we tap the ladle, or rub over the batter on the ladle, the Boondi will not come round and uniformly. It will look like tailed droplets.

Why does the Boondi come in lumps?

  1. If we over- crowd the Kadhai, and put in more Boondi thatn the Kadhai can hold, tehn the Boondi will have no space and will stick to the other droplets., forming lumps. Boondi can form lumps if the batter is too thick.

Sugar Syrup:

  1. For these Laddoos we require the Besan and Sugar to be taken in the ratio of 3:1. The water should be half of the measure of Sugar taken.

  2. As soon as the sugar melts and the Syrup cooks to a one-string consistency, take the Syrup off the flame. We do not need to cook the syrup any more.

What to do if the Syrup becomes too thick and sticky:

  1. If we take care to stop cooking the syrup beyond the stage of one-string consistency, there will be no problem at all. If it does so happen that the Syrup turns thick and you are not able to help the situation, then add a little water and put it on the flame. As soon as the mixture loosens up, go ahead and bind the Laddoos.
