Boondi Laddu

Laddoo is a pretty famous sweet all over India.Here the recipe called Boondi laddoo is made out of Boondi.It is  served in all occasions including festivals and marriages.There are two different kids of laddoos the one which is soft and the other one which is little hard.Mine is the second one.I grew up eating these laddoos in my childhood on every occasion..Preparing these laddoos is quiet easy but the only difficulty is to shape it into balls when the boondi mixture is little hot.Finally I tried first time at home..Cant believe that, they are very tasty.Posting THIS RECIPE IN BM#73 UNDER THE THEME "FLAVORS OF INDIA."
