Ingredients Required for Hanuman Jayanti Boondi Prasad

For Boondi

• 1 cup gram flour (Besan, sifted)
• 1/4 teaspoon saffron food color
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

• Water as required

For Sugar Syrup

• 1.5 cups sugar
• 1.25 cups water

Step-by-Step Boondi Recipe for Hanuman Jayanti

Step 1: Prepare the Sugar Syrup

Take a deep pan and add 1.5 cups sugar and 1.25 cups water. Add crushed cardamom for aroma and cook on medium flame until the sugar dissolves completely.

Let the syrup boil for around 5 minutes until it becomes slightly sticky like honey. Add saffron food color and mix well. Turn off the flame and keep the syrup warm.

Step 2: Prepare Boondi Batter

Take a bowl and add besan and saffron color. Slowly add water and mix to form a smooth batter without lumps.

Add baking soda and whisk the batter for 4–5 minutes. The consistency should be smooth and flow in a thin stream from a spoon.

Step 3: Fry the Boondi

Heat desi ghee in a deep pan. Hold a perforated ladle (boondi jhara) slightly above the pan and pour the batter over it.

The batter will fall in small droplets and form round boondi. Fry them on medium flame until they turn light golden and crispy.

Step 4: Soak in Sugar Syrup

Remove the fried boondi and immediately add it to the warm sugar syrup.

Let it soak for at least 1 hour so that the boondi absorbs the syrup completely and becomes juicy and soft.

Hanuman Jayanti Special Boondi Prasad is Ready

Your Hanuman Jayanti special sweet boondi is now ready to offer. Strain excess syrup and place the prasad in a clean bowl. Offer it to Lord Hanuman with devotion and gratitude and distribute it among family members and devotees.

Homemade prasad not only ensures purity but also reflects faith and love, which makes the offering more divine and meaningful.
