Laddoos are really important part of any frstival in India,and diwali is not an exception.

Every diwali,I make a big batch of these sweet balls and these always turn out to be a massive hit.

Well ,today i am gonna share my recipe for the perfect laddoos.

• Rose water-1 tsp
• Saffron strands-a few

Method:-

• In a bowl,mix the besan,milk powder,salt and cashwenut powder .
• Add enough water to make a thick batter and keep whsiking for atleast 15-20 mins to incorporate as much air as you can
• Set aside for 20 minutes
• Meanwhile,Take a sauce pan,add the sugar,water ,star anise and bring to a boil.
• Let it boil for 15-20 minutes till the syrup reaches the one string consistency.To check this,take a little bit of syrup on the back of your spatula,allow it to cool down a little bit,then dip tour index finger into the syrup and stick tour thumb and pull away.It should form a single string.
• Now swtich off the flame,remove the star anise and add the rose water and saffron strands.
• Now allow the syrup to cool down just a little bit
• Now In a frying pan ,Heat up some ghee upto 170degrees celsius
• Whisk the besan mixture lightly and pass it through a perforated spatula depending upon the size of boondi you want to have in your laddoos
• Fry for around 4-5 minutes over medium flame 
• Take out on a kitchen paper .
• Now mix the fried boondis in the syrup and let it soak the syrup completely
• Now Form laddoos out of the mixture
• Stick one piece of chopped pistachios on top of each laddoo. 

Tips :-

• Incorporating air while whisking the besan mixture is really inportant as it makes the laddoos really light
• Dont Fry for too long
• Make sure the consistency of  your sugar syrup is right.
