Motichoor Laddu

Ingredients :

For Boondi Batter 

            1)   1 cup Besan (gram flour)
            2)   1 tbsp Sooji (semolina)

 


For the sugar syrup

            1)   1/2 cups (250 grams) Sugar
            2)   2 tbsp Milk
            3)   2-3 drops of Saffron Food Colour



Other ingredients

             1)   a few Saffron Strands
             2)   2 tbsp chopped Almonds
             3)   2 tbsp chopped Pistachios
             4)   1 tsp Cardamom Powder
             5)   2 tsp Rose Water
             6)   Ghee for deep frying


For the garnish (optional)

             1)   Edible Silver Leaf


Method : 

for the bundi batter

  1. Combine the gram flour, semolina and approx. 1.5 cup of water and mix well to make a smooth batter. Keep aside.

For the sugar syrup
  1. Combine the sugar and milk with 2.5 cups of water in a kadhai and heat while stirring continuously till the sugar dissolves. When the syrup comes to a boil, the impurities in the sugar will begin to float on the surface, forming a grey layer.
  2. Heat over a medium flame to allow the grey layer to float. Do not stir at this point as the layer will break and it will not clarify the syrup.
  3. After about 5 minutes, slowly drizzle 2 tablespoons of water from the sides of the pan with the help of a ladle. Water added at this stage will bring down the temperature of the sugar syrup and will not allow it to boil and break the grey layer.
  4. Continue to simmer the syrup over a medium flame for about 5 to 6 minutes and then gently remove the grey layer using a slotted spoon.
  5. Add the saffron food colour to the syrup and make a syrup of one string consistency. Keep warm.

How to proceed
  1. Heat ghee in a pan. When hot, hold a perforated spoon over the hot ghee and pour a little bundi batter at a time using a ladle over the perforated spoon. Spread the batter with the back of a spoon so that the bundi falls into the ghee.
  2. Fry the bundis over a high flame to a light golden colour, taking care to ensure that they are not very crisp.
  3. Add the bundis to the warm sugar syrup and mix well so that the bundis soak in the syrup well.
  4. Wash and dry the perforated spoon (bundi jhara) every time you pour the bundi batter through it. Proceed making the bundis with the remaining batter and immerse them in the sugar syrup immediately after frying.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water, the saffron, chopped almonds, chopped pistachios, powdered cardamom and rose water and mix well.
  7. Shape the mixture to make 20 to 22 laddus and garnish with silver leaf, if using. 
  8. Hurrray! Your laddus are ready.

Haveli - Authentic flavors of Punjab!

There is a punjabi quote which goes like : "Jehri Mauj Chhaju De Chobare, Na Oh Balakh Na Bukhare" It literally means - "East or West, Home is the best!". And that is something which I've experienced when visited Haveli Amritsar. Haveli invited me to attend the bloggers meet. On arrival, we were greeted with chilled homemade Lassi in Earthenware Cup which broke my tiredness of driving 21 km from Amritsar city to the location. That was the taste which I expect whenever I had a desire for Lassi. I introduced myself to the other members who were there to attend this bloggers meet. We have shared our past experiences with food and traveling. I must say that the people I met there were so humble and nice. All this was happening under this beautiful roof which is designed to give you a feel of typical Punjabi Dhaba. Take a look at these pictures below : we continued our conversations till other members were arrived at the location.
