Motichoor Ladoo Recipe
Motichoor Ladoo is one of my all time favorite sweets.It has tiny boondis which is very cute to see, I went through many recipes to replicate motichoor ladoo as in sweet shops and found this one to be unique to try.The motichoor ladoo recipe called for coarse besan and the method of making boondis was slightly different from the regular ones which yields tiny boondis.

I tried these ladoos yesterday, though my boondis were tiny when compared to boondi ladoo I cannot claim it as very tiny as in sweet shops but I am completely satisfied with the taste so that justifies this post right?! :) I combined both the methods and finally here is the  version of motichoor ladoo recipe from my kitchen :) And this motichoor ladoo recipe is the closure for this Diwali 2016!

Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali!!

  5. Now take your boondi laddle..This is the setup - Heat a kadai with oil,Keep a taller(than the kadai) box without touching the kadai.Place a folded kitchen towel on the box,then keep the boondi laddle rest over it.I have just demonstrated the set up.Once the oil is hot, pour the batter all over  just half or 1 laddle should be good in one batch.Then tap on the cloth so that the batter falls in a sprinkled manner in the oil giving tiny boondis.
