Pre-Preparation:

• Roughly chop the cloves, cardamom seeds, pistachios, cashews nuts, and raisins.
• Take a pan, melt ghee and fry cashews, raisins, cloves and cardamom seeds. Take a mortar pestle and grind to powder form.
• Sugar Syrup:

• Mix sugar and water in a saucepan.
• Dissolve the sugar syrup over the stove on a low heat.
• Also, add the saffron threads into this mixture.
• Cook till you get the thick thread like consistency.
• Turn off the flame of the stove.
• Keep this syrup aside in a pan.

Note: Do not let sugar syrup cool down.

Preparation:

• In a large mixing bowl, take the gram flour and sieve it along with baking soda.
• Then into this mixture, mix saffron strands.
• Mix these dry ingredients properly to make the batter of Boondi.
• Then slowly and gradually add water to make the batter smooth and thick paste.
• It is very important to get the correct, i.e. mildly thick consistency.
• Now take a very minor amount of the batter and roll it round.
• Take a deep frying pan and heat oil over a high flame. The oil has to be moderately hot when you fry the Motichoor Ladoo.
• When the oil starts to crackle, add the small round shaped a ball of the Boondi batter.
• If the batter on dropping into the oil becomes flat means it is thin and needs correction.
• So to correct the consistency, add some gram flour and again repeat the test.
• Similarly, if it becomes like a tail from ends means that it is thick and also needs correction.
• In this case, if you want to correct the consistency then add some water and again check for the consistency test.
• Once you have achieved the correct consistency, you can start frying the Boondi.
• Firstly, shape all the batter to the small round balls.
• If you do not want to form tiny balls or if you are unable to form the tiny balls then follow the below step.
• Take a perforated ladle and place it above the oil.
• Now add some batter into this spoon with help of another utensil.
• Spread the batter evenly over the perforated ladle.
• Submerge the ladle into the hot oil and let the Boondi fry.
• Fry them properly till they are well cooked.
• Do not over fry them which will make them crispy.
• The correct time to remove the Boondi is when the oil starts to sizzle.
• Take another large ladle to remove the Motichoor Ladoo from the frying pan.
• Strain them with the slotted spoon and either place them on an oil absorbent paper or directly dip into the sugar syrup.
• This way, finish up the entire batter by spreading it over the ladle, frying the tiny Boondi and adding to the sugar syrup.
• Take care, that after each batch of batter, you wipe the ladle.
• Use any cloth or the kitchen towel to clean the ladle of frying from both the sides.
• Now into this syrup, add the other ingredients such as ghee, dry fruits, seeds, powders and sugar candy.
• If you like, at this point you may some color essence into the mixture. You can either add both yellow and orange or choose any one.
• Mix these ingredients well with each other.
• In a blender, add this Motichoor Ladoo mixture with sugar syrup.
• Also, add hot water into the blender.
• Keep the grinder on for few minutes and for few times to get the smaller shape.
• Do not add too much water. The amount of the water depends on the texture of the Boondi.
• Now add the melon and the cardamom seeds and again grind.
• Once it was done, transfer it to another bowl.
• Grease your palm with the ghee or butter and start making small balls.
• The round balls that you rolled are called as Ladoo.
• You can place the delicious Ladoo inside the cupcake liner or the muffin liner.
• Decorate the top of Ladoo by seasoning them with sliced pistachio.

And the magnificent Motichoor Ladoo are ready to be gulped down!

Note: Keep the perforated ladle at the considerable distance above from the frying pan but do not keep too high. You can also crush the Boondi with the hands.
