1 tsp pistachio slivers

Method

For the sugar syrup

Combine the sugar and 1 cup of water in a broad non-stick pan, mix well and cook on a high flame for 5 to 7 minutes or till the sugar syrup is of 1 thread consistency.
Add the saffron-water mixture, mix well and keep aside.

How to proceed to make sweet boondi

Combine the besan and ½ cup of water in a bowl and mix well till no lumps remain. Keep aside.
Heat the ghee in a kadhai and pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of the batter at a time over a large round perforated spoon (boondi jhara) so that boondi drops in the ghee.
Deep-fry the boondi over a medium flame and remove using a slotted spoon and put them in the warm sugar syrup and mix well.

Handy tip:

At step no 2, hold the perforated spoon 3 to 4 inches above the kadhai as the ghee is very hot.
