One of my favorite Laddoo's are these Motichoor or Boondi Ke Ladoo.
Motichoor literally means crushed pearls, and these are made by frying
gram flour into tiny pearls and soaking them in sugar syrup. If you
have not tried making Motichoor laddoos before, try this easy to follow
recipe where each pearl of the Ladoo is flavorful and luscious.

Tips
Procedure
3. Heat oil on a medium high flame. Take a boondi ladle ( jhara ) with small holes suitable for making small boondis.
To help in making the boondi, I took a small box with height a little more than the kadai ( frying pan ) and covered it with a kitchen towel. I rested the ladle on this box.
Pour a large spoon of batter into the ladle. Immediately but carefully, tap the ladle a few times on top of the box, such that small drops of batter fall into the oil.
4. As soon as all the batter in the ladle has fallen into the oil,
keep the ladle aside and use a different ladle to scoop up the Boondi. (
The boondi's are cooked immediately, and you do not need to wait ).
Drain the fried boondi's on a paper towel.
Repeat and make boondis from all the batter.
5. Lets make the sugar syrup now. Add sugar and water to wide pan on high heat.
8. Turn off the flame and cover the pan for about 5 minutes for the boondi to absorb all the sugar syrup.

This recipe is very easy to follow. There are two important things to keep in mind for making the boondis :
