Diwali Greeting cards

Diwali is almost around the corner – not even a couple of weeks away. Diwali usually falls on the day of “Amavasya” in the month of October or November. In 2007 Diwali is going to be celebrated on the 9th of November and is expected to be celebrated with its unusual and extraordinary glory like every year. However all that I want to say you all today is may you have a happy and a prosperous Diwali 2007. Wish and be wished with love and fondness. Play safe with fireworks. Have lots of special Diwali sweets like Motichur Laddu and Rabdi. May you be blessed with the fountain of fun on Diwali 2007.

Ingredients
1. Gram Flour – 3 cups
2. Water – 2 cups
3. Sugar – 4 cups
4. Rice Flour – 3 tablespoons
5. Oil

Direction
Step 1: Take the gram flour in large bowl and pour some water. Mix it well into a white thick batter.
Step 2: Heat oil in a large round pan some sometime. Line the pan with a strainer that fits on the pan.
Step 3: Use a slotted spoon and tap the gram flour mixture through the holes into the hot oil.
Step 4: Fry the mixture well into "boondi" -- small round balls of sweet. Don't over fry it. It should be only fried for 5-6 minutes. When done, lift the strainer with the boondi and spread it on a paper towel so that the excess of oil is soaked.
Step 5: Put the boondi into a bowl full of water immediately and remove right afterwards. Now you are ready with the boondis.
Step 6: Boil water and sugar to make the a syrup.
Step 7: Take 3 tablespoons of syrup and on a non-stick pan until you get the froth. Add the boondis and stir it well for some time. When it starts leaving the side of the pan easily you can say for sure that you're ready. Remove it from heat and let it cool down. While it's still a bit warm take little amount from the mixture and make it into a small ball. This way you can make number of balls of equal size. And you are ready with your Motichoor Laddu!
