Sweet Boondi ( Prasad Ki Meethi Boondi )

Hello friends,
Namaskar....
I am sangeeta Agrawal and heartily welcome you at my blog.
# Sweet boondi is a favourite  prasad of "Lord Hanuman ji "at every Tuesday.
It is presented in the temples with a great devotion as bhog and distributed among  the people.
# Sweet Boondi can be prepared at home very simply with home ingredients only.
It brings a great satisfaction when we prepare the prasad by ourselves.
#  Ingredients For Sweet Boondi...
#  For Boondi Batter...
1.  White Urad Dal...50 gram ( soaked and grinded )
2. All purpose Flour...150 gram ( maida )
3. Champai colour...1|2 pinch ( orange )
4. Water as required...100 ml.
5. Deshi ghee for frying boondi
# For Sugar Syrup....
1. Sugar....300 gram ( 3 cup )
2. Water ..150 ml. ( 1 1|2 cup )
3. Champai colour...1 pinch
4. Saffron...20 strands
5. Cardamom...6 ( powder )
#  Method Of Making...
1. Wash and soak the urad dal for 5 hours.
2. Then drain the soaked water of dal and grind it in the mixer jar well with the help of a little water.
Remember...You need a very smooth paste of dal so grind it in intervals...Of 3 times.
Just grind it a little and mix the batter.
Again grind it and check the consistency of batter by stirring it with the help of spoon or hands.
If needed...Add 2 or 3 spoon of water again in the dal and grind it.
3. Take out the grinded dal in a bowl and you can sieve it in the soup strainer from avoiding any lumps or coarseness.
4. Now beat it well with your hands or with the help of a spoon till the dal batter becomes light and fluffy till 7 minutes.
5. Then add maida in a big bowl and make a thick smooth paste of it with the help of 3|4 cup of water and beat it well.
6. Now add the dal batter and 1|2 pinch of colour in the maida and mix it well. Adjust the boondi batter as pouring consistency and keep aside.
7. Prepare the sugar syrup first... Because we have to place boondi in the sugar syrup just after frying.
Add the sugar and water in a kadai on the high flame and stir it till the sugar dissolves in the water.
Reduce the flame and cook it 5 minutes more till a sticky consistency of 1|2 strand only.
Add saffron, pinch of orange colour and  cardamom powder in the sugar syrup and mix well.
Off the flame and keep aside.
8.  Now place a kadai with sufficient ghee or oil on the high flame.
For frying boondi...Oil or ghee is needed sufficiently heated as it is emitting smoke.
It will make boondi round and boondi will not stick to each other.
9. Then check the oil and batter...By pouring 2 drops in the heated oil...If it is round and coming above...Then is ok.
10. Now place a normal kitchen ladel with thick holes on the oil and pour some boondi batter over it.
Let the boondi down by itself.
Don't move the boondi ladel.
Keep it straight and little high...So that boondi will get time to be round and non sticky.
Pour the boondi batter in the proportion of oil...
So that boondi could not stick.
11. Fry the boondi just 2 or 3 minutes only by flipping them and place it in the warm sugar syrup and mix it well.
12. Clean the boondi ladle with a clean muslin cloth after every batch of boondi.....And fry them.
It is easy method of cleaning the ladle... Because if you are going to wash the ladel again and again... Then you can burn due to some moisture.
13. Fry all boondis in the same manner and place them in the sugar syrup and mix it for 2 or 3 times so that boondi can absorb the sugar syrup well.
14. Let the boondi remain for 5 minutes in the sugar syrup....Then spread them in another tray and let it cool down completely.
After 2 hours...You will find them dry and juicy.
In this way...sweet boondi is ready for prasad.
# Note...
1. Beat the boondi batter well for making them soft and juicy.
2. You can mix a pinch of baking soda in the boondi batter.
3. Heat the oil on the high flame at the time of pouring boondi batter then reduce the flame as needed.
4. You can take gram flour | besan in place of urad dal and maida...For boondi batter.
5. Take a thick holed ladle or jhara for making sweet boondi... Because sweet boondi of prasad are made of little big size.
Thanku Friends,
