Bundi Ladoos for Ganesh Chaturthi
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all my Family , Friends & Readers of my blog! May the Blessing of Lord Ganesha always be upon you 
. Celebrate this Ganesh Chaturthi festival with Homemade Bundi/Boondi Ladoos!
Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi is the Hindu festival of Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati. It is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha. Ganesha is widely worshipped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. The festival lasts for 10 days and is celebrated with lot of excitement all over Indian mainly Western and Southern India.
I am celebrating this festive occasion by sharing the much-loved & liked Indian Sweet of Ganesha….the Ladoos . I will be making these Bundi Ladoos as prasad for My Ganesha. Ganesha is believed to be fond of Ladoos and so is my little Ganesha at home, my son :). He loves Besan Ladoos and Atte Ke Ladoos a lot and that’s the reason I keep making Ladoos for my Ladoo too .
Bund in Hindi means small pearl size drop. And for Bundi Ladoos – Bundi also means small size drops and Ladoos are small lemon size sweet balls made using Bundis (small pearl drops made by deep-frying besan & later combined together in sugar syrup). In India Ladoos holds a very special place among the Indian Sweets. Ladoos are used on almost all festive occasions by many of us, mainly in Puja’s or Prayers. They surely hold a very high significance as per me in all religious prayers among the Hindu’s. Also if you do not wish to make Ladoos, these bundis( dipped in sugar syrup after deep-frying of course) can be used for prasad or you can simply enjoying eating these as it is, these sugar syrup drops taste yum too!
Bundi ladoos that I made are soft,colorful, sweet and not to miss too tempting. My kids love these and to my surprise my daughter also loved these homemade Bundi Ladoos. I was always too scared to try out Bundi Ladoos by myself at home even though I have been making various varieties of ladoos at home still somehow always feared making these and Yeah! Finally I did and I am too excited about the end result in my first try ….
Delicious and colorful Bundi Ladoos, I am sure now these are going to be in my regular sweet list too . Can’t wait more to share the recipe out here so here I go……
Ingredients Instructions Notes For extra shine to your ladoos, apply ghee on your palms and reshape your ladoos the final time.
Wet your palms each time you form the ladoos.
Sugar Syrup should be of one thread consistency or one step before that.
As soon as you deep fry the bundis keep pouring them into the sugar syrup, stir well and then form the ladoos.
If you wish to avoid using the coloured bundis, go ahead with just the natural besan coloured bundis. I wanted my bundi's to look colorful and bright hence I used few drops of food colour for making very less coloured bundi's.
If you wont wet your palms each time you make a ladoo, it will be real tough for you to bind the bundi's to ladoos.
Enjoy these delicious mouth-watering Homemade Bundi Ladoos – Ganesh Chaturthi Recipe! I have many Ladoo recipes on my blog in the - “Festival Recipe Section“,feel free to check them out & try making these traditional Indian Sweets at home for your loved ones.

Love the bundi laddus. I never made at home. I want to make bundi from long time, So I will probably try to make bundi laddu same as well. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you so much YCB, looking forward to the new look
Perfect and excellent preparation of Bundi Ladoos. Love it at any time. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to you and your family Anamika.
Thank you Sanoli and I am glad you like them
hey anamika, colored boondi gives nice and attractive look to laddoos. making boondi laddoo is kind of hectic for me and it make big mess in kitchen. so usually i avoid to make this. but your explanation will help me next time.
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.
Ya Kanan I agree with you but trust me homemade bundi ladoos are worth all the efforts – a must try
!
The Ladoos look super cute Anamika, I never made boondi ladoo before but my husband says he is expert in it
, So this Ganesh Chathurthy I will ask him to make it 
Hey thank you Shruthi, looking forward to see your post on these boondi ladoos specially when it will come from your expert hubby…enjoy

Homemade ladoo rocks …These are looking so colorful…just like the way we just to eat earlier..
thank you Deepa, yes those were good old days when sweets were part of a must must in every home on all occassions

Seasons greetings and loved the neat presentation of the bundi ladoos! have a rollicking celebration
thank you Priya
hey Anamika..the ladoos look very good..tell me what kind of seive did u use ..i have a sieve of little holes in it..can i make ladoos by that..
Hey Suhani, thank you so much for liking this recipe too
, I used a normal steel sieve that we use for frying, with little holes it will do..if not bundi ladoos you will surely end up making motichoor ladoos 
. I think you can make, can you send me the pic on my email address that you have with you, would want to see that seive.
btw..u have become a ladoo expert…
Haha…yeah you right Ladoo expert, I am sure you saying this after looking at the count of different kinds of ladoos I have on my blog
, let me share a secret with you – for so many years I was dead scared of making simple ladoos also and many a times messed up with ladoos and ended up making bufi in place of ladoos coz could not bind them properly! So to get such a compliment from you is really wow for me…..

Thank you my daughter loves to eat Laddoos…Now I can Make Them At Home
thank you and I am glad you liked them, hope you daughter enjoys having them too
Hi,
I tried these ladoos today but was unsuccessful. I could not bind the laddoos. Bundis came out well. I followed all your instructions. I tried to wet my palms with water. Even the sugar syrup seemed to be correct. Can you tell me what went wrong?
Ananya
Hi Ananya,
The only reason I see for bundis not able to bind into a ladoo could be the right consistency sugar syrup. The key to these ladoos is the one thread sugar syrup. If that all in place, the ladoos will bind. You need to take a small ball siz bundis in your palm and press them tightly to form a ladoo. I make my ladoos the way I have mentioned in this post and they come up too good and my kids love these too. Pl do not give up and give it a try again, once you will get the trick of making the ladoos you will be able to make any kind of ladoos very comfortably. Do let me know in case you try these again. If you need more gudiance then pl watch any cooking video on how to make bundi ladoos, search it on you tube and hope that hepl you too.
