Ingredient
Quantity
Gram flour/kadalamaavu
1.25 cups
Rice flour/arisi maavu
2 tbs
Salt
1/8 tsp
Baking soda
a pinch
Cardamom powder/ellakai
1/8 tsp
Cashews/mundiri
3-4 tbs(chopped)
Cloves/lavangam
3-4
Sugar/sakkarai
1.25-1.5 cups
Oil
for deep frying
 
  
  
 Method 

  • Take the gram flour,rice flour,salt and baking soda in a mixing bowl.Mix it well,to this slowly add water and make it to a batter.The batter should be in a dropping consistency.Divide the batter into 3 equal portions and add orange, green color to two portions.
  • Heat a pan with oil and once it becomes hot,hold the boondi ladle or a perforated ladle on top of the hot oil.Pour some batter on the ladle and gently tap it.Tiny droplets of batter drop into the oil.Fry it for a minute and remove it from the oil.
  • Drain it on a paper towel.Continue for the rest of the batter.Also fry the cashews and the clove in the hot oil using a ladle and remove it.Add it to the fried boondi.
  • Meanwhile in a wide pan add the sugar and 1/2 cup of water.Let it boil.After 5-6 of boiling check the consistency of the sugar syrup by dropping it in cold water.The sugar syrup should not dissolve in water.Or a single thread is formed when the sugar syrup is pressed in between thumb and for finger.

  • Once the sugar syrup reaches the consistency add the cardamom powder and put off the flame.Now add the the fried boondi and cashews.Mix it well.After 2-3 minutes of mixing add the sugar candy aka kalkandu and mix it well.
  • Let the mixture sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes to absorb the sugar syrup.Mix it well now the coated very well and the boondi becomes dry.
  • Store it in an air tight container.






  • The amount of sugar can be increased up to 1.5 cups but I used 1.25 cups which was enough for us.
  • The consistency of the sugar syrup is important to get it coated well.If it is not in a perfect consistency,the boondi will be soggy.
  • A small mustard size of edible camphor can also be added in the sugar syrup.
  • Check the consistency of the batter by dropping few drops in the hot oil.If it comes out perfect round then proceed.If it has a tail the the batter is too thick and come out flat means its too thin.
  • Wipe the boondi ladle with a clesn wet cloth or paper towel each round to get a nice shaped boondi.
  • Adding rice flour is purely optional,but I add it.


Enjoy........................
