Though i had made kara boondi and boondi ladoo, i never made sweet boondi before. Making boondi itself is a bit time consuming process and need lot of attention.I wish to have more hands especially when i make any indian sweets :-), usually it requires lot of stirring or multitasking at a time, right?
Clicking step by step photo is really difficult, making boondi at one hand and clicking on other hand, omg, somehow i manage it. But when i see those beautiful boondi, all my pain was gone and it taste so delicious.Crispy outside and juicy inside,who can say no to that? and i vaguely remember eating boondi with sugar candy in it in my childhood. but now i couldn't find any shop making like that, just to recreate that,i added sugar candy,but you can skip that. If you're beginner, then see the notes and this video before you start, it helps to avoid the mistakes and make the process easier.
