Hanuman Janmotsav 2026: Tomorrow is Hanuman Jayanti and its preparations are going on in full swing everywhere. In many places Akhand Ramayana, Sundar Kand are recited and at many places Bhog-Bhandara is also organised. On this auspicious occasion, it is considered very auspicious to offer home-made juicy Bundi to please Lord Hanuman. If you also want to make perfect boondi like halwai, then know this easy recipe.
Material
Gram flour – 1 cup
Water – for batter
Sugar – 1 cup
Water (for syrup) – ½ cup
Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
Saffron
food coloring
Ghee or oil – for frying
Method
- First of all filter the gram flour. Gradually add water to it and make a smooth and thin batter (not too thick, not too thin). If you want, you can add light yellow color.
- Add sugar and water in a pan and boil. Prepare 1 string syrup. Add cardamom powder and saffron in it.
- Heat ghee/oil in a pan. Pour the batter on a ladle with holes and fry round boondi. Fry the boondi until slightly crisp (do not brown too much).
- Immediately put the hot boondi in the hot syrup. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes so that it becomes juicy.
Tips for perfect boondi
- There should be no lumps in the batter.
- The syrup should neither be too thin nor too thick.
- Do not fry the boondi for too long, otherwise it will not remain soft.
- Put only fresh and hot boondi in the syrup.
