An important Hindu celebration called Dhanteras is coming up soon. Families gather together to celebrate and indulge in delicious treats during this time. Motichoor Laddus stands out as a favorite among them. These sugary, golden snacks are a representation of wealth and good fortune. Here’s how you prepare them ahead of time to guarantee a fun celebration:

Ingredients Required

Regarding Laddus:

One cup of gram flour (besan)

Two teaspoons of ghee

Water, half a cup

A sprinkle of baking soda

Oil for frying: An enough quantity

A small handful of cashews and raisins (for garnish)

Regarding Sugar Syrup:

One cup of sugar

Water, half a cup

Powdered cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon

A small number of saffron strands (for taste and color)

Rose water: one tsp

The Method of Preparation

Step 1: Get the sugar syrup ready

Boil Water: Combine the sugar and half a cup of water in a pot. Heat it until it boils.

Enhance taste: To improve the taste, add rose water, saffron strands, and cardamom powder.

To ensure uniformity, keep cooking the syrup until it thickens to the consistency of a single thread. Place a drop of syrup between your thumb and fingers to test this. When separated, it should come together into a single strand.

Step Two: Prepare the Batter

Mix Gram Flour: Place gram flour and a little amount of baking soda in a mixing dish.

Heat up two tablespoons of ghee and mix it in with the gram flour. Blend well.

Pour Water: To create a smooth, lump-free batter, gradually add 1/2 cup of water.

Step 3: The Motichoor is fried.

Heat Oil: Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pan with a substantial quantity of heated oil. Modest heat should be applied to the oil.

Creating Droplets: Spoon a scoop of batter onto a small-holed ladle. Tiny batter droplets might fall into the heated oil by tapping the ladle. Fry for a golden brown color.

Empty Extra Oil: Take out the fried motichoor from the oil with a slotted spoon and place it on paper towels to drain.

Step 4: Putting the Laddus together

Soak in Sugar Syrup: For around ten minutes, submerge the motichoor in the heated sugar syrup. Make sure they fully absorb the syrup.

Form Laddus: While still warm, take little pieces of the syrup-soaked motichoor and form them into laddus. To keep things from sticking, you may need to add a little ghee.

Garnish: For a touch of elegance, garnish each laddu with cashews and raisins.

Tricks & Advice

To get precisely formed motichoor laddus, make sure the gram flour batter is lump-free and smooth.

To aid in absorption, keep the sugar syrup warm when dipping the motichoor.

You may change the syrup’s sugar content to suit your preferred degree of sweetness.
