Boondhi Laddu (Traditional Indian Sweet)

This exquisite treat is a classic Indian Laddu (sweet ball) made from tiny pearls of deep-fried chickpea flour batter, known as Boondhi. These golden droplets are carefully soaked in an aromatic sugar syrup, often infused with cardamom, saffron, and cloves.

The final step involves shaping the mixture into soft, round balls, which are typically garnished with cashew pieces and raisins, as seen in the image. Renowned for its juicy texture and rich, sweet flavour, Boondhi Laddu is a staple during festivals like Diwali, weddings, and all grand celebrations.
