Method

  1. Whisk the gram flour with water into a smooth, lump-free batter of medium-flowing consistency.
  2. Heat oil in a kadai; pour the batter through a perforated ladle (jhaara) directly into the hot oil to form tiny boondi pearls; fry briefly until just cooked but soft, then drain.
  3. In a separate pan, boil the sugar with a little water to a one-string sugar syrup; stir in the cardamom powder.
  4. Add the fried boondi to the warm sugar syrup and mix gently; let it soak and soften for a few minutes.
  5. While still warm, take small portions and shape into soft, round laddus.
  6. Let the laddus cool and set before serving.
