Preparation Method: Sorghum Boondi Laddu

Prepare the Boondi Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine sorghum flour and bengal gram flour. Gradually add water and mix to form a smooth, flowing batter.

Fry the Boondi
Heat oil in a kadai. Pour the batter through a boondi ladle over hot oil. Fry until the boondis turn golden and crisp. Remove and keep aside.

Prepare Sugar Syrup
In another pan, add sugar and water. Boil until the syrup reaches single-thread consistency. Add cardamom powder and mix well.

Combine Boondi & Syrup
Transfer the fried boondi into a bowl. Pour the hot sugar syrup over it and mix gently.

Add Ghee & Nuts
Add ghee, raisins, and cashew nuts. Mix well — ghee helps bind the laddu and enhances flavor.

Shape the Laddus
While the mixture is still warm, take small portions and shape into round laddus.
