To make Motichoor Laddu, start by preparing the batter by mixing 1 cup besan (gram flour) with ¾ cup water, a pinch of baking soda, and a few drops of orange food color. Heat ghee or oil in a pan and pour the batter through a boondi ladle to form tiny droplets. Fry for a minute until soft, then drain excess oil. In a separate pan, prepare sugar syrup by boiling ¾ cup sugar with ½ cup water, cardamom pods, and 1 tsp lemon juice until it reaches a one-string consistency. Turn off the heat and add rose water. Mix the boondi into the warm syrup and let it soak for a few minutes. Lightly pulse in a blender for a finer texture (optional), then mix in chopped pistachios, almonds, and melon seeds. Grease your hands with ghee and shape the mixture into small laddus. Let them set for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Motichoor Laddus! 🍬✨
Instructions: follow
Step 1: Prepare the Boondi
In a mixing bowl, add besan, baking soda, and food color.
Gradually add water and whisk to form a smooth, lump-free batter (slightly thin consistency).
Heat ghee/oil in a deep pan.
Pour batter through a boondi ladle (or perforated spoon) into the hot oil, allowing tiny droplets to fall.
Fry for 1-2 minutes until soft (not crispy), then remove and drain excess oil.
Step 2: Prepare the Sugar Syrup
In a pan, add sugar and water; heat on medium flame.
Add cardamom and lemon juice (to prevent crystallization).
Boil until one-string consistency (slightly sticky but not too thick).
Turn off the heat and add rose water.
Step 3: Making Laddus
Add the boondi to the sugar syrup and mix well. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb flavors.
Pulse the mixture lightly in a blender for a finer texture (optional).
Add chopped pistachios, almonds, and melon seeds.
Grease your hands with ghee and shape into small round laddus.
