    Kale Boondi ke Laddoo | Rajasthani boondi laddu

    Bundi laddu is the most popular sweet in India. It is a favorite with everyone but very few people know of Kale boondi ke laddoo which is very common at Jodhpur. Kale boondi ke laddoo or Jodhpuri boondi ladoo are slightly dark in color but it just wins hands down on the flavor. It is very tasty and has a very nutty flavor. You do not need too many milk products for this sweet. Just some besan, milk, ghee & sugar syrup to make this brown ladoo.

    The color for this 'laddoo' comes by adding a bit of milk to the besan batter. This makes it exciting instead of saffron or orange color. So make these 'laddoos' the next time for a 'pooja' or gathering and win the people over. Be it 'prasad' at temples or weddings, you will find boondi laddoo everywhere. It is a favorite sweet of Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, who is worshiped before each yagya or 'pooja'.

    Indian weddings & laddoo

    Weddings always remind me of Motichur ke laddoo. Perfect box of these sweets are generally given along with return gifts. There is a famous saying shadi to motichur ka laddoo hai,jo khaye pachtaye jo na khaye wo bhi pachtaye. This itself shows how people associate wedded life with this 'laddoo'. Children love it and so do the elders. Generally, old people have a problem to chew. It is very easy to make all you need is a skillet with small holes to make that 'boondi'.

    The smaller the hole, the finer the boondi.

      You said the color comes because of adding milk to the besan, but how come some are light brown and some very dark ??

        hi,sorry for the late reply..the difference in colour is due the time taken to fry them i.e. as we are adding them to the oil, the 2nd batch will be lighter than the 1st one..
