1. Bundi
2 1/2 lb chickpea (gram flour)
1 heaped tpsn coarsely ground cardamom
yellow colour (optional)
pinch safron soaked in a little water
2-3 cups water
oil for deep frying
2. Syrup
2 lb sugar
3 cups water
1 pinch saffron
yellow colour (optional)
3. Ladu
1/2 tspn nutmeg
8 oz slivered almonds
1 oz raisons
2 gram saffron
MethodBundi
1. Mix the flour and cardamom in a large bowl, add water, saffron and colour if using to make a thick batter. Let it sit for 20 minutes, add more water if neccesary.
2. Heat the oil in a large wok or karai (we used our faithful wok bought from chinatown eons ago)
3. Place the bundi jaro (see pic 3rd in first set), over the hot oil and pour a ladleful of batter on the jaro, rub the batter on the jaro/sieve, so that fine bits of batter fall into the hot oil to make little balls (bundi). Remove from the oil into a large container.4. Repeat this step until all the batter is used up
Syrup / Chasni
Place the sugar, saffron and water in a saucepan, bring to boil. When the syrup forms a thread beween two fingers, add it to the bundi.
Ladu
Mix the bundi with the almonds, nutmeg, raisons and saffron, add the syrup, mix well.
Form medium sized balls (slightly smaller than a tennis ball)
makes 45.

wow, you make this look so easy..I am always looking for new Mithai recipes....thanks!
I know you want the recipe for Doodhi Dhebra, but I don't get fresh doodhi here...but what I usually do is:
mix bajra, besan, and wheat flour, add grated doodhi, chopped garlic,jalapenos,and ginger, salt, some sour yogurt, chopped coriander, some sugar and knead the dough. On a wax paper, press into a shape of a round dhebra and then put it in a pan, saute it like you would a paratha with oil. Serve hot with some dahi and pickles...that's it! very easy....you can leave out the wheat flour and make it just out of bajra, but it is very hard to roll out. Hope you will try it!

Thanks Trupti,
It was easy, just a little time consuming, but worth it.

i made bundi ladu. cant beleive how easy they were to make. i made it with 3 cups of besan. reduced syrup quantity also.after making ladus i felt they were little on the dry side. so i made more syrup and poured over ladus and it seaped into them beautifully. thanks
