Make batter with gram flour, which should not be too thin.
The batter should evenly coat the back of a spoon when dipped in it.
Heat ghee, hold perforated spoon a little above the hot ghee, pour some
batter on the spoon.
Tap very lightly at edge of spoon to allow small droplets to fall in the
ghee.
Pour back remaining batter and wipe spoon.
Stir the boondis in the ghee gently and fry till crisp but not brown.
Drain and put into the syrup. Keep for 3-4 minutes before draining from
the syrup.

separates.

to burn yourself. A little practice and it is very easy.
