Steps

1

Take besan in a bowl and add 2 cups of water. Make lump free batter. Make sure that the batter is not thick.
2

Divide the batter into 3 equal parts.
3

Add red, green and yellow food colour to each part of the batter.
4

Take a mash having small circles on it.
5

Heat the ghee in a pan. Hold the mash over the pan.
6

Pour one colour batter at a time over the mash to form the small boondi shape.
7

Fry from both sides. Do not overfry as it will change the colour of boondi.
8

Similarly, make boondi from all the three colored batters.
9

In another pan, heat water and sugar till they form single thread consistency.
10

Add milk to sugar syrup so that any impurities will collect at top. Remove them.
11

Add elaichi to it. Switch off the gas and add boondi to it.
12

Mix well. Rest it for around 3-4 hours.
13

Garnish meethi boondi with pistachios and almonds. It can be used to offer as prasad to deities.
