Begin by taking a large bowl. Add 2 1/2 cups of gram flour (besan) to the bowl.
Mix in some orange food colouring. Then, gradually add water and a small amount of baking soda to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
Start by heating olive oil in a large, deep frying pan. When the oil is hot enough, place a perforated ladle over the oil.
Pour a portion of the batter onto the ladle, letting it drip slowly into the oil. Fry the boondi on a low flame until they are cooked through.
Once they are ready, take them out of the oil and place them on tissue paper to soak up any extra oil.
Next, combine water and sugar. Allow the mixture to boil until it reaches a two-string consistency. Then, add some cardamom powder and continue cooking.
Once ready, add the boondis to the sugar syrup and mix until they are well combined. Cover the pan with a lid and turn off the flame.
Grease your hands with some ghee. Then, shape the ladoos and place them on a tray.
Sprinkle some crushed nuts on top for extra flavour. Your ladoos are now ready to be served.
