To this add water ,salt and colour (optional) to make a batter. The consistency should be bit loose than dosa batter.
Roast raisins in 1 tbsp ghee and keep aside.. Now lets make the sugar syrup.
In to a pan add 1 cup of sugar, cardamom powder and 1/2 cup water.. Mix well. Boil well till half thread consistency. (Test the sugar syrup consistency between ur thumb and forefinger. When tested between thumb and forefingers a string must be formed ,but it will cut immediately, that is half thread consistency) Remove from the flame and keep aside.
If u want your laddu to be more soft... crush half portion of boondis to a coarse mixture. Then add them to sugar syrup along with the remaining half portion of boondi .Add 1 teaspoon of ghee to the mixture. Once everything is added to the sugar syrup mix well ..
Now take very less amount of boondi and press it form round shaped balls... Continue the process till the mixture is finished.. After cooling keep the yummy ladoos in airtight containers.
