Ingredients

  • ( 1/4 cup) Unsalted Cashew Nuts
  • ( 2 cup) Chickpea Flour
  • ( 15 grams) Butter
  • ( 10 tbsp) Caster Sugar
  • ( 1/2 tsp) Ground Turmeric
  • ( 1 tsp) Ground Cardamom
  • ( 400 ml) Water

Method

  1.  In a dry pan (a pan with no oil in it) dry roast the cashews until they are golden brown.
  2. Add the flour and butter to a medium bowl and add 100 mL of the water a bit at a time until you have smooth but slightly runny.
  3. In a separate bowl mix the sugar and 100 mL of water and heat until the consistency thickens. When you stir and then lift the spoon and the sugar syrup forms a connected string from the spoon to the pan remove from the heat.
  4. Heat a pan with oil at least 3cm deep. When it is 140 degrees using a slotted spoon, spoon the batter into the oil allowing it to drip through the holes into the oil. Use another spoon to spread the boodhi around the pan so they don’t stick to each other. Once they are golden brown remove with a clean slotted spoon and set in a sieve or on some paper town to remove any excess oil.
  5. When the boondhi have cooled down tip them into the sugar syrup, add the spices and cashews and mix well.
  6. Roll them into golf ball sized balls and they are ready to serve.
