Take the perforated ladle or anything that is available in your kitchen. I used my channa for this.
Heat the kadai/wok with ghee and put the channa/perforated ladle on it. Pour one bowl of the batter and spread it with the ladle. Deep fry the boondis till it is properly cooked, don’t over fry the boondis otherwise it will become crisp and won’t absorb the sugar syrup and laddus will not be soft. (it will take 1-2 minutes). Take out the boondis from the oil on a tissue paper to get rid of the extra oil.
After, each batch wash the perforated ladle and dry it with the kitchen towel. Do the same with the rest of the batter. Take half of the boondis in a grinder and grind it coarsely.
Take the sugar syrup in a bowl, add coarsely ground and whole boondis in the hot sugar syrup
Add chopped almonds, cashew nuts, raisins and mawa. Mix it well. Keep it aside for 30 minutes to absorbs the sugar syrup.
Once the boondis absorbed syrup, make the boondi mixture into laddu shape. you can apply ghee on your hands while making the laddu.
Put the boondi laddu in a small muffin liner. Delicious laddu is ready to eat.
