Ingredients:

• Besan-1 cup
• Orange food color
• Ghee melted-1/2 teaspoon
• water-1/2 cup+ 6 tablespoons(divided)
• Ghee or oil-around 2 cups(for frying)

   Sugar syrup:

• Granulated white sugar-1 cup
• Water-1/2 cup
• rose water-1 teaspoon
• Cardamom powder-1/4 teaspoon
• Orange food color

Instructions;

For boondi;

1. To large bowl add besan and orange food color then add little ghee and mix.
2. Start adding water. Add around 1/2 cup (120 ml) to first form a thick batter without lumps. Then add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) water and mix well. Let the batter sit for 15 minutes.
3. Then add remaining 3 tablespoons (45 ml) water and mix.Batter should be very thin and flowing consistency without any lumps.
4. Heat ghee/oil in a kadai on medium-high heat.
5. Take a large spoon of Besan batter and pour it on perforated ladle or spoon. Press with the other spoon so that the batter falls down from the perforations into the heat into the hot oil or ghee.
6. Let the tiny boondis cook in hot ghee for 30 to 40 seconds only, color should not change.Remove fried boondi in a large sieve.
7.  Repeat until all tiny boondis are fried and batter is over. Remember to completely wipe clean the ladle with a wet cloth between frying each batch else the boondis can clump up.Set aside.

To Make the sugar syrup

1. To a large kadai, add sugar and water. Add cardamom powder, rose water.
2. Also add lemon juice and food color.
3. Let the sugar dissolve and mixture come to a boil.
4. As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, turn off the heat and add the fried boondi to the pan. Stir and then turn on the heat again with heat set to lowest setting.
5. Cook on lowest heat for around 3 minutes, stirring continuously. You don't want to dry the boondi but the excess sugar syrup should become less. 
6. It takes around 2 to 3 minutes.Don't overcook it else the boondi will dry out and won't be soft from inside.

To Shape the ladoo

1. Remove on a plate and let cool completely.
2. Once the mixture has cooled down, take a small portion of the boondi mixture and roll between your palms to make motichoor ladoo. Repeat with the remaining boondi.
3.  You would get around 12 to 15 ladoos from this.
4. Enjoy these Motichoor Ladoo as a special treat!
