ghee for deep-frying

How to proceed to make sweet boondi

  1. Combine the besan and ½ cup of water in a bowl and mix well till no lumps remain. Keep aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

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