Step 1
Add
Caster Sugar (1 cup)
and
Water (1/2 cup)
to a pan. Let it boil until it becomes one thread consistency. Once the consistency is achieved remove from fire. Keep the sugar on hot water bath as the sugar syrup has to be warm while adding the boondhis.
Step 2
In a bowl, add
Salt (1 pinch)
to
Chickpea Flour (1 cup)
and mix well. Stir in
Water (1/2 cup)
. The batter should be smooth and neither be too thick or thin. It should have a flowing consistency.
Step 3
Here I am making three colors boondhi. I divided the batter in to three bowls, one red, one yellow, and one
Green Food Coloring (1 drop)
.
Step 4
Heat
Oil (as needed)
in a wide Kadai and make it moderately hot. Drop little gram flour batter into the oil. If the batter comes up steadily onto the surface of the oil, it's perfectly hot to make the boondhis. Take a perforated ladle and hold it above the oil.
Step 5
Pour a spoon full of batter into the ladle. You can see the batter dropping as boondhis to the oil. Fry the boondhi for a minute and then drain them out of the oil. Make all the boondhis the same way.
Step 6
Add all the boondhi to the sugar syrup and add
Ground Cardamom (1/4 tsp)
and combine well. Add
Almonds (to taste)
and
Raisins (to taste)
. Combine well and cover and keep it. Let it rest well so that all the sugar syrup gets absorbed and becomes dry. Store in airtight containers and eat whenever you like.
