How to make Homemade Quick and Simple Motichoor Ladoo
Prepare Boondi Batter
Place a sieve over a mixing bowl. Add besan (gram flour), baking soda, and saffron food color. Sieve well.
Gradually add water at room temperature to make a lump-free, free-flowing batter. Do not add too much water.
Make Boondi
Transfer the boondi batter into a piping bag or a cover. Tighten at the end and cut a very small tip with scissors.
Heat oil in a kadai over medium to high heat. Gently squeeze the cover to pour the batter into the oil, forming small boondi. Repeat for all the batter.
Prepare Sugar Syrup
In a pan over medium heat, add sugar and water. Allow to melt and add red food color.
Boil for 5 minutes. The syrup should have a greasy texture.
Combine and Shape Ladoo
Add the prepared boondi to the sugar syrup and stir well.
Cover with a lid and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Add cardamom powder, ghee, and Watermelon seeds and mix well. Shape into ladoos and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the batter is lump-free for smooth boondi.
Do not overheat the oil, as it may burn the boondi.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before shaping into ladoos for easier handling.
