Instructions

In a small pan fry raisins and cloves on medium heat using 1/2 tbsp of ghee till raisins look puffy, about 1 min. Remove and keep aside.
Sieve besan flour with soda in a mixing bowl. Add water little by little to form a thick paste.
Keep adding water till you get flowing consistency batter. Divide the batter into 2 separate bowls. Add orange food color in one and green in the other.
I have used my flat grater to make boondi. In a pan, add oil and heat it. Keep the heat on medium.
Hold the grater on top of the oil, take a laddle full of batter, pour it over the grater and spread with a ladle so that the batter drops down through the holes in the oil.
Spread it with the ladle .Flip the Boondis in 3-4 seconds, remove on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Repeat till batter is over.
In a heavy bottom vessel, add sugar and water and cook on medium heat till sugar reaches 1 string consistency. Switch off the stove.
Take the fried boondis and mix cashew nut powder and fried raisins-cloves.
Immedietely drop these boondis in the sugar syrup which will crystalize it.
Mix well, making them soft and chewy.Keep it for cooling for around 30 mins.
