Excuse me Manjula, do I still add cardamom if I make savory boondi with raita? Sorry for my ignorance.
Didna, you add the cardamom only when you are making sweet boondi
Thank you I will try, making boondies looks really fun and something children will like.
Can you freeze boondi laddoo?
Carol, yes
Thanks …from your recipe i got a know that syrup should be made first and then boondi
Hello I Love your Recipes but can you also post a recipe with Mootichoor Ladoo. Thanks a Lot 😉
I will try
Hi I m dolma tsering. I from New York. Thank you so much ur recipes pickle n sweet. I really enjoy food. Once again thank you
Hi, I tried making the ladoo, but mine tastes very oily. Is that normal? Any way I can reduce the amount of oil in the ladoo?
Thanks
Sam, Boondi ladoo should not taste oily, if boondies are fried on very low heat they absorb more oil and use the skimmer with holes to take out the boondies from frying pan.
all the way from usa I tried making the ladoo.thanks a lot came out very good.
I alreday have boondi dat is khara boondi can I make ladoo of those pls let me knw
Sharda, Boondi should go from frying pan to syrup
I made these boondi today. Taste is very nice. But I saw that once boondis have cooled down, they sugar coated on boondis are crystalised and my boondis look dry and not glazed like we see it in store bought boondis. Any suggestions for that?
Puja, sugar syrup was too thick
Hi I just made the boondi it came out so good ,thank you manjula s much for your recipe,I watch most of your videos and cook for my family…. I couldn’t make the round balls since the sugar syrup I made was not of exact thick consistency bit I relished the taste lets c wat my hubby will have to say….waiting for him.my daughter 5 year old emmmjoooyed i! Thank you soooooooo much manjula
I started watching your cooking vedios for last 3-4 weeks and just love it. It has become everyday ritual to watch atleast 3-4 receipes. Best part in your cooking is that you make it sound so simple, even the dishes that are considered difficult to make, no wonder my 5.5 years old daughter is also so fond of watching your vedios and the other day she told me how to make samosas step by step 🙂
Thank you for this recipe. I will try it at home. I absolutely love ladoos be it bundi or motichoor. Thanks Manjula ji.

Hi Aunty!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I tried this recipe today. It tasted excellent, my husband and my daughter liked it very much. But my boondhis were flat circles not spherical. Can you please help me how to correct this? I have tried many of your recipes and succeeded in the first attempt. All the credit goes to you and ur cooking and teaching skills. Thanks a lot.
Hello Maam, You are an awsome cook and your style of cooking makes it the easiest thing in the whole world. I had made Rasgullas earlier but they always turned out to be hard or cracked and God only knows why I use to add Maida (Little bit) to the mixture, Anyways when I tried your way they turned out to be Absolutely super… Thank you….
Tomorrow I am planning to try Boondi Ladoo, so just wanted to know if I can use plane readymade boondi and soak in suger syrup and later try to bind them ?
Please guide …. Thanks you
Vidisha, Sorry readymade boondi will not work.
Thanks for that demo. Great instructions easy to follow. I look forward to trying them out soon. I haven’t been able to “eat” boondi ladoo since I had them lovely ones from Tirupathi. I do miss them heaps.. I’m also looking for a recipe, with intructions preferably, for adirasam. Thanks again.

Hello manjula! I love ur recipes! It are delicious!!!!! But i have one questios…. How u do to create the ladoo balls? i can’t confeccionate it… 🙁
Thank u very much for the recipies and videos also!!!!!! I’m learning to cook with this website!
I tried your recipe as per instructions. In the end i was unable to make ladoos as they kept breaking.what to do
Happy 2010 to you !!!!
hey pennyann u can find sev in any indian grocery store in Oz try samrat packet for sev its nice
You’ll probabaly laugh at this, Manjula aunty but I’m accessing your website sitting right here in India. Honestly, of all the multiple recipes for a single dish that I used to look out for, yours are simply wonderful – considering that you even anticipate where a learner could go wrong. I have to take this opportunity to thank you for the sincere tips that you incorporate in both, your videos and the text of the recipes. Having tried out your version of “Gajrela”, now I look up your site for advice pertaining to any culinary issue. For eg right now I was searching for any recipe that mentioned how sugar syrups ( the crystalizing kind) the are to be tested and whether they can be reused. Do reply or at least guide me as to where I can find what I need.
Dear aunty,
I tried this boondi ladoo ( I didn’t have the skimmer. I bought just for trying this recipe). My sugar syrap was so much boondis are little. I followed exactly the same steps written by you.
I don’t have anything to measure how hot the syrap should be. I boiled for 8 minutes. But that wasn’t sufficient. Next time i should boil more so that syrap will become thick enough to make ladoos. It came out like a big sugar halwa containing here and there some boondis (ha ha ha) like almonds/raisins in halwa.
Any way Thanks for the recipe. I will try again next time to get ladoos exactly like in your videos.
Devi.
manjula, ur just too good , better than any oif the other indian chefs out there. I made ur boondhi ladoos and my husband finished them in 3 days !!! I love ur site. ur an excellent cook. Can u teach us how to make sev as we dont get it here in Australia and I love making ragada pattice and bhel. Id appreciate if u cud share this recipe with us.
Hi Pennyann, you can get sev from any Indian grocery shop .The good and fresh brand is that of Haldiram.
Hello ManJula aunty…..
I Really Like Ur Recipes!!!especially the boondi laddos Thankx a lot…
May this festival of light bring you joy and prosperity. Happy Deepawali !
hello aunty, what the other options to check the sugar syrup? I want to make a ladoo today and i dont have candy thermometer.can you reply me Please. i tired all most all your recipes.. and it came out really good the way you saw us is very simple.. and it inspire me to cook. Thank you soo much & Happy Diwali to you and your Family.
Try to buy a candy thermometer. It will be the most accurate. But in the meantime, without a thermometer you can test for the “thread stage” if, when a little of the hot sugar syrup is dropped into a bowl of cold water, the syrup turns into a very soft thread, it is in the thread stage. This means that it’s temperature is somewhere between 230 and 235 degrees Fahrenheit.
Good Luck.
Hi, Jaya thanks.. for your reply i used your method and the ladoo came out very good. I just got married this is my frist diwali with his family. my husband was very impressed with my cooking .. credit.. goes to you and Manjula aunty i guess i should tell him now.. who help me .. lol……… thanks agin.. happy diwali & happy new year.. to you and your family.

You look like a traditional Indian lady. You have done very well for yourself. Congratulations for your achievements. Thank you for all your recepies.
Hi Aunty, I am a big fan of urs:) I tried this ladoo twice and it came awesome. But when I tried to double the quantity I was not able to form ladoos and have to consume them as Boondhis itself…Can you please tell me if I should have looked for a change in temperature for the syrup? Thanks a ton….Gayathri

Hello, I wanted to know what is gram flour (besan)? I can’t translate it in my language, maybe there is something, that i can use instead of that? Have a nice day!
Sometimes it is called chickpea flour I think
Chickpea flour and gram flour are different
What is the difference?
Hi jaya Gram flour(besan) is ground kala channa after removing the skin. Chickpea flour is ground chole/cholia. Thanks
I was not abel to get the ladoo shape? I wasn’t able to make them round, do you know why?
Hi Manjula Aunty. Since I moved to Atlanta and not Working any more..have started experimenting new things at home.Saw ur recipe videos and have made most of them…Ur Recipes are to the perfection they turn out as Expected. Thank you Very much. Have u ever tried making Ghevar.If yes then please share the Video. I have made it once….the taste was amazing but the shape was not so pleasant.
Warm Regards, Sapna
Thank you so much once again for this very simple & classic recipe..
after coming to US from india, fresh boondi laddoos were never available in indian stores here..
but with your step by step simple recipe, i could easily make this very classic indian recipe at home..
i have prepared many recipes from your website & am ever thankful that can now prepare many savored delicacies at home in no time..
Hello Hamida, Your skipper with smaller holes will work; most probably batter should be little thinner. Please experiment little bit.
hello manjulaji i have a skimmer but it has smaller holes than the one that you have. Can I still use that to make laddoo? Do I have to do something to the batter ( make it thicker or thinner)? please let me know so i can make it. thank you
you r simply GREAT MANJULA AUNTY…..BY JUST WATCHING U COOKING THERE…..I FEEL I AM AT HOME ….
Hello manjula aunty ur all recepies r really very very good.u r not only a good cook but also a nice person whos helping all cookery lovers…. thanks..with regards HINA GULZAR KHAN.

Namaste Aunty, Thanks for the simple and delicious recipes. What all i tried from ur site is really came out great..now my husband belives that i’m good cook.. Thank u sooooo much…. Regards, Poonam
Hello Jaya Aunty,
Thank you very much from bottom of my heart for very simple and amazing recipes. I really appreciate your and your partner’s( how helps you to make these all videos) hard work to make these all videos. Thanks again, and your a great cook.
Take care. Priya
Hi Monica, Good question!
No, the two are very different types of flour. Graham flour is coarse wheat flour. Gram flour is made from chickpeas.
Jaya
Is Graham Flour and Gram Flour the same?
Hi Sindhu, You can’t know without the thermometer. The boiling syrup looks the same at 210 degrees as it does 230, so there is not visual way to tell the difference. Only the thermometer can tell you that the syrup has reached the one thread or 230 degree mark.
Hopefully you can locate a candy thermometer either in a store or on-line. Jaya
hi manjulaji how can i know the sugar syrup is half thread consistency with out the candy thermometer. If there is a way please let me know. thanks sindhu
dear manjuji all your recipes are very nice it is not only delicious it is a feast for our eyes thank you very much
Hello Manjula ji
Just one word for you & your recipes “Mindblowing”……..Thanks a lot for wonderful recipes with video. You don’t believe that now i can try any recipe from your site without any fear. You are doing a great job. Thanks once again & God Bless you. Take care. bbye
Manjula,
Thank you so much for all the wonderful recipes and videos. You are a gift, and I think your food is so delicious, and your demonstrations just take the fear away, and make me want to try new things. I did not know that there were two different types of Ladoos, but I think my favorite is the Boondi Ladoo. You should make a book with all your recipes. I know I would buy one, and they would make nice gifts. Thank you for all your efforts!
thankyou very much munjulage by posting this recipe.thank you very vrey much bye
hi, thnak you for the recipe of bengali rasagulla. I am going to try it out tomorrow. in the meantime can you clarify if the rasgullas have to kep in the presurre cokker till the whistle goes off (and if so till how many whistles) or only till 7 minutes. thnks, mamta
Thank you so much for the boondi ladoo recipe. I noticed the recipe right after writing to you once again to request it. Thank you so much. I shall try it as soon as I am able to. Thank you once again, and your a great cook.
thanx manjulaji for both recipes.i want to ask one thing if we want to make boondi for raita n want to store them then what to do.bcoz if we buy from market they remain crispy for long time.only besan boondi does not remain crispy.what else is to be added to make raita boondi crispy n in what proportion n can be stored. thanx i know u always give response.
thread stage = 230-233°F or 110-111°C which is 80% sugar concentration.
Another way is to drop a small spoonful of the hot syrup into cold water, if it forms long strings of hardened sugar it indicates the “Thread” stage.
I haven’t tried this, but this is how it was done before candy thermometers.
Thread is the first stage on the thermometer. If the syrup in cold water forms a lump the temperature has gone higher than thread stage.
Hello Auntyji This recipe looks great. i tried today but failed. I think i have fried the Boondi till crisp. once again i will try to perfect it. I have one question. i don’t have the thermometer with me, so how to check the half thread consistency? i felt my syrup is a bit watery, but on cooling it became thick. please tell me the technique. Thank You
