Besan (gram flour)                : 2 cups
Sugar                                     : 2 cups
Cashews (broken)                 : 2 tbsp
Raisins                                  : 1tbsp
Kalkandu(sugar candy)        : 1 tbsp
Cloves                                  : 5 nos
Cardamom pdr                     : 1 tsp
Ghee                                     : 2 tbsp
Kesari colour                       : a pinch
Edible camphor
(pacha karpooram)              : a pinch
Milk                                    : 1 tbsp
Oil  for frying

Method:

Add water little by little to the besan to make a loose batter( like dosa batter)





Heat oil in a kadai. Gently pour 1 ladle batter in the boondi ladle  and tap it. Droplets of batter will fall into the hot oil, fry it (do not fry it till crispy). Remove it from oil and repeat the process with the remaining batter and keep aside.




Take a pan, add water to the sugar and boil it. Add milk to it, the impurities will come to the surface. Remove it with a spoon. Add a pinch of kesari pdr to this and mix well.



 

Boil the sugar syrup till we get the one string consistency  (when you touch it between your index finger and thumb and pull it apart, it should form a string). Remove from fire.

Heat ghee in a kadai and fry cashews, cloves and raisins separately.

Add fried cashews, raisins, pacha karpooram, cloves and cardamom pdr to this.
Add boondi to the sugar syrup and mix well.  Add a tsp of ghee and make balls out of it.




 Tasty laddus are ready!!
