Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup besan (110 grams, gram flour)
  • orange food color
  • 1/2 teaspoon ghee (melted)
  • 1/2 cup + 6 tablespoons water (divided, 120 ml + 90 ml)
  • ghee (or oil, for frying, around 2 cups)
  • melon seeds (optional, to add to the ladoo while binding)
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar (200 grams)
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)
  • 1.5 teaspoons kewra water (or rose water)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • orange food color

Instruction

  • Please note that before you start it's important to have the right equipment to make the perfect motichoor ladoo. A motichoor ladoo jhara with the smallest opening (number 0 or 1) is what you need. If you use a ladle with bigger holes or any other ladle, then the boondis will be large in size and it won't be motichoor ladoo. It would simply be boondi ladoo. You need very tiny boondis for this ladoo and for that you need that jhara.
