  3. Hi dassana,

    I love your recepies n they have made believe that I can serve good too… N this Diwali you are the inspiration for me attempting to make my son’s favourite boondi laddo …I would like to know for how long do these stay fresh …the shop ones go bad in few days.

    1. thanks madhura. boondi ladoo stay good for a week in a cool or cold climate. but in a warm and hot climate, i would suggest to keep boondi laddu in the fridge.

  4. I tried making these ladduoos as my son loves them. It turned out to be so yummy much tastier than the store bought. Thank you so much for sharing the receipe.5 stars

  5. I tried your recipe and it came out PERFECT! It was my second time. My first time I tried some other recipe and it was a disaster. I didn’t know how to fix the issues, which you explain so well.
    It was easy and fun. Thank you!5 stars

    1. Welcome Uma. Glad to know that details in the boondi ladoo recipe helped you. Its a slightly tricky to make these ladoo but once you get the knack then they are easy to make. of course fool proof recipe helps a lot.

  6. I just made this and it came out perfect! 🙂 This was my second time trying bundi laddu and I gained a lot of confidence from your simple instructions about how to check for batter consistency and how to fix the issues. My first time, I tried some other recipe, it had no instructions about what to do if bundis don’t come out ok. My mother said to me, it’s not worth making, don’t waste your time. But I paid no attention to her, I just made it and it came out PERFECT! THANK YOU!

  7. Hi…
    Id like to make meethi boondi..donn wanna bind dem into laddos..shall I follow dis recipe till making bundi part..vl it wrk? Or do u suggest sm changes in d sugar syrup?
    I tried ur aata cake recipe..for d first tym i had made cake which had a boiling liquid 🙂
    But it turned out to be one of d best cakes i hv ever made..
    Thnks for d luvly recipes..dey turn out wow 🙂

    1. thanks vine for the review on the atta cake. for meethi boondi, you can use this recipe. but just that there is no need to bind the boondis. no need to change anything in the sugar syrup. if you want, you can take 1/4th cup more of besan.

  8. Thank you very much for boondi laddoo recipe and many others that you post. The recipes are amazingly accurate. God bless you.

  9. Ma’am ur recipes are easy to follow and the pictures are a great help. the recipes always turn out to be tasty.
    the sugar in this recipe crystallized and the boondis were big in size. moreover the boondis were not sticking together during shaping. plz point out what we did wrong.

    1. thanks ananya. sugar syrup will crytallize if it cools down. so you have to keep it hot or warm. thats why the sugar syrup needs to placed in a bowl or plate of hot water. if the boondi ladle or channi used has large holes, then the boondis will be bigger. looks like the sugar syrup is not cooked to the one thread consistency. hence the boondis are not able to stick. what you can do now is on a low flame, keep the pan with the boondis and the sugar syrup in it. stirring often cook for a few minutes. let the mixture become warm and then shape into ladoos.

  10. Hi
    I tried this recipe . I face problems with sugar syrup. I never get this one thread consistency . It’s always like sugar in water even though I cook for 40 mins . Is it bcoz I use cane sugar . Can u suggest wat sugar to use ?4 stars

    1. strange. 40 minutes is a long time to get one thread consistency. which brand cane sugar you use. i get one thread consistency even with regular sugar and organic unrefined cane sugar.

    2. I use cane sugar available at Safeway. Do U think it could be bcoz of incorrect proportion of water n sugar. Please tell about the water: sugar ratio.

      1. i have never heard of this brand. could be that this brand is not available in indian markets. the water just has to cover the sugar. so usually for lets says about 1/4 cup sugar, 1/8 cup water. when i get time and properly settle down in this new place and house, i will try to add the various sugar syrup consistencies.

  11. Can I omit the camphor as I cant find that? Is there another way to keep these laddoos for longer without a fridge? Thanks again for the recipes.

  12. Really great n good indian recipes ….
    बहुत ही मजे़दार रेसिपी हैं ….

  13. Hi Dassana, Great Recipe as usual with wonderful photos. Regarding both motichur as well as boondi ladoo, you have used black cardamom seeds. Is this usually added to ladoos or is this your unique take on ladoos?

    1. in the north & west these are added to ladoos, especially motichoor ladoos. in fact when i was a kid, i would love these seeds so much in the ladoos, i would always wonder what they are. now i know. so whenever we would buy motichoor ladoos, i would make sure they had these black seeds on them.

      1. Thanks Dassana for your feedback ! Being a Tamilian,I’m so used to adding green cardamom seeds for almost all sweets that I found it strange to see black cardamom seeds. Hence I wanted to double check ! Once again…awesome recipe. I will be making this or motichoor ladoos for Diwali using your recipe ! 🙂5 stars

          1. Hi Dassana, In the ingredients list green cardamom is mentioned twice. Thought you might want to check on that
