Motichoor Ladoo Recipe / Motichoor Laddu with step by step pics and a short YouTube video, If you like my video, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel.  The name Motichur Ladoo means, Moti – Pearl and Choor – Crumbled / Crushed in Hindi, which makes in sense crumbled pearl-like ladoo. I have shared the trick of making tiny boondi, please refer my video, (you can see the demo of tiny boondi making) as the stepwise pics I have shared down is a closeup pic, which looks like a regular one. But if you are not able to get tiny boondi, then don’t halt, as you can make regular ones, just pulse and start shaping, as there will be no difference in taste. Usually, in mithai shops, this ladoo is fried in ghee to get a rich taste, but  I have used oil only, to cut off the calories, as this tiny boondi already absorbs more oil. I have used saffron strands and melon seeds but you can replace it with slivered cashews, almonds, pistachios and cardamom pods too.

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Boondi Laddle

Ingredients
  

1 Cup = 250 ML, 1 tsp = 5 ML

    For the Sugar Syrup

    • ¾ Cup Sugar
    • ½ Cup Water
    • 2 Drops Rose Essence
    • 2 Drops Orange Food Colour
    • ¼ tsp Lemon Juice

    For making Boondi

    • 1 Cup Coarse Besan Flour
    • 1 tsp Ghee Link for Homemade Ghee
    • Water As Required
    • 1 Pinch Salt
    • 3 to 4 Drops Orange Food Colour
    • Oil For Deep Frying
    • Few Strands Saffron
    • 3 tsp Melon Seeds

    Instructions
     

    For the Sugar Syrup

    • To a heavy-bottomed pan, add sugar and water. Mix well in medium flame, until the sugar gets dissolved. Once bubbles appear, lower the flame.
    • The mixture gets thicken soon, heat till you get a single string consistency. Be alert at this stage, don’t heat furthermore, else the sugar syrup turns hard. Switch off the flame and add lemon juice to avoid the sugar crystallizing.
    • Now add 2 drops of rose essence and food colour.
    • Give a quick mix and keep covered till use.

    Boondi Making

    • Measure and keep all the ingredients ready.
    • To a bowl, add ghee and 1 pinch of salt. Pour water little by little and mix everything well to form a lump-free batter.
    • Add a few drops of food colour and mix again. The batter should be free-flowing, thinner than the dosa batter. Heat oil in a pan / kadai, keep a tall vessel nearby the pan, without touching it. Place a folded cloth over the tall vessel and rest the boondi jhaara / ladle over it. Just pour 1 ladle of the batter, don't layer it and start tapping the handle over the cloth very quickly. Ensure that you don't hit the hot oil pan.
    • Fry till golden brown on both sides and the shhhhh sound ceases. Don't fry for more than a minute, else the boondi turn crispy.
    • Drain it in tissue paper, do the same with the remaining batter. Transfer 2 to 3 tbsp of boondi to a mixer.
    • Just pulse it once, don't make it like a paste. Now, add the fried and pulsed boondi to the hot sugar syrup only, so it absorbs the syrup easily. If the sugar syrup cools down, heat a little and then add the boondi.
    • Add a few saffron strands and melon seeds. Mix well and keep covered for 15 minutes, so the boondi absorbs the syrup and fluff up nicely.
    • When it is warm itself, start shaping the ladoo. Pinch a portion of the boondi mixture and roll into balls of equal size.
      Enjoy this Motichur Ladoo along with Mixture during teatime.
