  • 2 drops of yellow food colour

Method for laddoo

Combine the above ingredients to form a smooth, thick liquid batter.

Pour the batter through a spoon with large holes, I used the lid of my icing sugar shaker held over the hot oil.

Fry the tiny balls until golden brown and place them into the syrup.

Allow the tiny balls to stand for a couple of minutes till you see that the balls have changed colour and the syrup has seeped into the balls.

Using a spoon remove the balls from the syrup and drain excess syrup, place on a plate till all the balls have been removed from the syrup

Mould the mixture and form round golf-sized balls.

Decorate with coloured almonds.
