Preparation Time:	10 mins
Cooking Time:	30 mins
Ingredients:	Gram Flour - 1 Cup
	Water - ½ Cup
	Sugar - 1 ½ Cup
	Water - 1 Cup (for the syrup)
	Cardamom Powder - 1 tsp
	Oil for deep frying
	Perforated spoon/ ladle
	Candy thermometer - this is used to measure the temperature of the sugar syrup
Method:	• Place Water and Sugar in a pan and bring it to boiling on medium heat. Now stir continuously till all the Sugar is dissolved. • Then reduce the heat to low until the temperature of the Syrup has reached to 220deg on Candy thermometer. • Meanwhile mix the Gram Flour with Water to make a smooth consistent batter. • Heat Oil in a frying pan on medium heat. • Now hold the perforated ladle about 1 1/2 inches above the Oil in the centre of the frying pan. With the other hand pour the batter over the ladle to cover all the holes. • The batter will drop through the holes in the Oil. • Fry them till the sizzling sound stops and slightly golden in colour. • Lift these Boondis with a slotted spoon/ladle and drop them directly in the warm syrup and mix. • Let them soak in the syrup for few minutes. • Add the Cardamom Powder to the syrup and mix well. • Now drain off the excess syrup and store them in clean-dry containers.
