Boondi Ladoo with Khoya | Diwali sweet recipes

I have already posted boondi ladoo and motichoor ladoo recipe here. When my sister was telling me about the mothi pak which she happened to see in a sweet shop in chennai, i casually googled for that recipe. It is a type of ladoo burfi with the addition of khoya in that. I tried in the same way as motichoor ladoo adding khoya to the mixture and set it as burfi. Though the taste was very nice, somehow the burfis were not firm and i am not satisfied with the output. Later again when i was casually browsing for something else, i came across a Bengali Style boondi ladoo called Dorbesh, which is similar to our boondi ladoo but with the addition of khoya. Most of the time they make it in orange colour or it will be colourful. So i decided to go with colour boondis. The ladoos turned out extremely well and was very rich in taste too.

Sweet Boondi recipe | Easy Diwali recipes

How to make perfect boondi

Sweet boondi i have very fond memories of eating that from a famous sweet shop in my native place. Though i have posted Boondi ladoo (with video) and motichoor ladoo recipe, the tiny tiny separate sweet boondis are my favorite. My appa used to get this for us and they are usually wrapped in a paper cover. Also those boondis were in different colours like green, orange and yellow. Many may think that the boondi ladoo and sweet boondi procedures are but it is not so. For boondi ladoo, boondis are not fried fully and taken when they are soft. But for this sweet boondi they are fried crisp and soaked in sugar syrup. These sweet boondis are made in temple and given as prasad too. Also in Tamil brahmin weddings boondis are served on the day of marriage along with other sweets. I got hooked by this recipe of sweet boondi by nisha madhulika and tweaked it a bit and made it 2 days back. It was a super hit recipe and turned out perfect. Try out this sweet boondi for Diwali and impress your family and friends. Check out my full collection of diwali recipes. Stay tuned of few more interesting recipes coming up for deepavali.
