ABOUT Boondi Pak/Boondhi Pak/Sweet Boondi Squares RECIPE

Boondi pak, sounds interesting. This sweet is quite different one from the usual Diwali sweets we make out traditionally. Actually to be honest, this boondi pak is quite a delicious sweet which sounds almost like both Mysore pak and Boondi laddoo.

Take a spoonful of batter put it on the spoon with holes and start rubbing it with the other spoon into the oil.
Fry them till golden brown and remove them and put it directly to the sugar syrup.
Repeat the same process until you finish up all the batter, mix well boondi's in the syrup once in a while and crush them generously. Cook until the mixture turns thick.
