Ingredients Needed:
For the outer layer
Maida / All purpose flour- 1 cup
Salt a pinch
For the stuffing
Fried Gram / Pappula podi - 1/2 cup
Jaggery - 1/2 cup
Cardamon a pinch
Grated Coconut - 2 tsp
Ghee as required / Milk as required
Oil for deep frying
Method to prepare:
Grind the fried gram coarsely. Melt the jaggery to remove the scum and heat in a pan, when it starts coming together, add the coarse fried gram powder, keep stirring.
Add the cardamom, grated coconut, mix well. The mix should come out as thick so as to easily dip in the flour. Add milk if required. Divide into small equal balls.
To make the outer batter, in a bowl, take the all purpose flour, add salt. Slowly add water as required to make a dropping batter.
Heat a pan with oil, when it is hot enough, dip the fried gram balls into the maida batter, gently drop into the hot oil.
Cook on both sides and remove it when it turns golden.

Healthy and delicious boorelu. Can understand how it is when kids say no to these type of snacks.
Suma Gandlur says
My 9 year old daughter is also a member of the "I don't even want to look at sweets" club. I know that it is hard to lure kids if they are not interested.
BTW I would have enjoyed that plate of boorelu. 🙂
Priya (Yallapantula) Mitharwal says
They look great and delicious dear. Even my kids do not like anything sweet, so we are on the same boat.
veena krishnakumar says
Have never tasted this. My daughter is finicky about eating sweet dishes except ofcourse chocolates:-), i think i will try this out for her....
Archana says
Yummy! I love sweets but no one home likes them except for cakes and chocolates. So trying this out is terribly risky. On the brighter side my friends at work will love them.
