Making method of Motichoor Laddoo

Step 1:- Firstly Dissolve sugar, saffron threads and water in a pan and keep it on the gas stove top to prepare the sugar syrup.

Step 2:- Once the sugar syrup attains two string consistency, then, add cardamom powder and orange food color. Stir well and keep aside.

Step 3:- Now we will prepare the Bundi for laddoo. in a large bowl mix besan flour and milk until smooth. Add baking soda to it and mix well. And Now make a smooth flowing batter without any lumps of the gram flour, crushed saffron, and water. The batter should neither be thick nor thin. batter's consistency should be flowing.

Step 4:- Heat oil for deep frying in a Kadai or pan. The oil should be moderately hot. for a check of oil you can add one or two drops of the gram flour batter in the oil, they should come up steadily on the surface. If they come quickly, then the oil is very hot. If they don’t come up or take time, the oil is not enough hot.

Step 5:- Take a large spoon of the besan batter and pour it on perforated ladle/spoon. Press with the other spoon so that the batter falls down from the perforations into the hot oil. If you want your laddoos to be more delicious prepare the boondis in ghee. It will accentuate the taste and aroma of the laddoo.

Step 6:-  Allow batter to fall into the hot oil and cook until golden and soft. Place them on a tissue paper to remove excess oil. Keep in mind. Don’t over fry or make them crispy.because if boondi becomes crisp then motichoor ladoos won’t be soft and they won’t be able to absorb the sugar syrup. About 45 seconds to 1 minute is enough to get the correct texture in the boondi.

Step 7:- Drain the oil very well after removing the boondi and then add them directly to the sugar syrup. Also, note that the Sugar syrup should be hot. if the sugar syrup is not hot, then just heat it. and after that mix the boondi well

Step 8:- In a blender or mixer add the boondi and the sugar syrup. Add 1 tbsp of hot water and pulse the boondi mixture a few times to get a smaller shape. Don’t pulse too much otherwise you won’t be able to shape the motichoor laddoos easily.

Step 9:-In a blender or mixer add the boondi and the sugar syrup. Add 1 tbsp of hot water and pulse the boondi mixture a few times to get a smaller shape. Don’t pulse too much otherwise you won’t be able to shape the motichoor ladoos easily.

Step 10:- The amount of water to be added depends on the texture of the boondi. If the boondi are a bit crisp, then add 1 or 2 tbsp more of the hot water. The boondis absorb the hot water and remain soft and moist.

Step 11:-Now Add the melon seeds and black cardamom seeds. Mix well. Apply some oil or ghee on your palms and shape the motichoor laddoos. The mixture should be warm when preparing the ladoos. On cooling they become firm.
