12. Stir with another strainer and remove when light golden.
13. Keep aside. Repeat for remaining batter. Immerse boondi in syrup.

15. Spread in a large plate. Once they are little cooled, take them to the mixer jar. Warm the milk and add it to the boondhi. the boondhis will be dry thats the reason we are adding milk. We can also boil water and add it instead of using milk
16. Give a couple of pulse and make it to a coarse mixture. Add rest of the nuts and mix well
17. Take the coarsely ground ladoo mixture in a bowl. Make lemon sized balls out of the ladoo mixture. Initially these ladoos are sticky but these ladoos will become firm upon cooling.
