As far as ladoos or boondhis, it doesnt matter. all we need is sweetened boondhi balls...whether they are all fused together or not...no one really cares in my home!!! Sometimes even experienced cooks, have such problems. Looks awesome and yes you have thousands f mini ladoos!!!<br /><br />ShobhaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400424797886725132.post-38573706950456325582013-01-31T08:05:10.804-08:002013-01-31T08:05:10.804-08:00Thank you Usha, Maha, Raks, Priya and evolvingtast...Thank you Usha, Maha, Raks, Priya and evolvingtastes :)Laavanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778057550064849231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400424797886725132.post-27040294232945534972013-01-30T20:54:22.513-08:002013-01-30T20:54:22.513-08:00That is quite a project!

I have always been intimidated too but actually it was quite easy and worst case scenario - you get boondhis (like what happened to me) so really low risk in trying it out.

Yours was perfect but you are right... i think i may have boiled the syrup a bit more and you had warned that in your recipe as well... :) I couldn't mash my boondhis - they maintained their shape even after soaking in syrup... i guess i made strong boondis :)<br />I'll try again.. I've always thought laddoos were too complex but your recipe made it doable.Laavanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778057550064849231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400424797886725132.post-3936556179663170112013-01-29T08:28:15.192-08:002013-01-29T08:28:15.192-08:00Thank you Sowmya..
