About Boondi Ladoo

Boondi Ladoo is a beloved North Indian sweet, especially cherished during festive occasions. Made with golden pearls of gram flour fried in desi ghee and delicately colored, these ladoos are a true treat for the senses.
This recipe brings back fond memories of school days, when receiving a boondi ladoo on Republic Day was the highlight of the celebration. Give my nostalgic and delicious version a try, and enjoy a taste of tradition in every bite!

Recipe Notes

Color is completely optional, crush boondi make ladoos soft and easy to bind, you can add melon seeds / magaj for better taste..

Additional Tips

  • For perfectly round boondis, make sure the batter is of flowing consistency—slightly thicker than pancake batter—and use a perforated ladle held over hot ghee, tapping gently to allow uniform droplets to fall.
  • If you prefer extra crunch in your ladoos, fry the boondi in two batches: first on medium heat for cooking, then a quick high-heat flash fry to crisp them up before soaking in syrup.
  • To infuse a subtle aroma, add a few crushed cardamom pods or a pinch of saffron to the sugar syrup before combining with the boondi.
  • Boondi ladoos keep best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week; avoid refrigerating, as it can make them hard and alter the texture.
