Make all the boondhi in the similar way. Check the boondhi is seperate pearls. You can also fry the boondhi in ghee to get a rich taste and flavour.

Notes
Notes:
Make sure the boondhi batter is in correct consistency. It should either be thick nor thin it should be a thick flowing batter.
Make sure you use a tiny holed motichoor laddle or boondi jhara with tiny holes.
If you dont have one use jalli karandi covered with aluminium foil and make tiny holes in it to get a tiny boodhi.
Keep note that while making sugar syrup we no need single string consistency. The syrup should be sticky.
Make sure you drain excess oil from the boondhi otherwise you get oil smell and also the texture will differ
Allow to cool well. We no need to make ladoo when the mixture is hot.
Once its cooled down but still warm we can able to make ladoo. then only we did it in correct way.
Drain excess oil in a kitchen tissue or kitchen towel
Before adding boondhi to syrup the boondhi should be seperate pearls.
before adding boondhi to syrup make sure its sticky so that the boondi absorbs the syrup. if the syrup is watery boondhi becomes mushy in water. keep an eye.
after adding boondi make sure u keep in low flame and mix well
when the mixture becomes thick switch off immediately and transform to a tray. dont keep in the same kadai.
