Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
For The Sugar Syrup
1 cup sugar
2 pinches saffron (kesar) strands dissolved in 2 tsp water
Other Ingredients
1 cup besan (bengal gram flour)
ghee for deep-frying
For The Garnish
1/2 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
1 tsp pistachio slivers
1 tsp almond (badam) slivers
Method
For the sugar syrup
1. 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.
2. Add the saffron-water mixture, mix well and keep aside.
How to proceed
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 into the hot 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. Repeat step 3 to make more batches of boondi.
4. Serve immediately garnished with cardamom powder, pistachio slivers and almond slivers.
Handy tip:
1. At step no 2, hold the perforated spoon 3 to 4 inches above the kadhai as the ghee is very hot.
