Materials
- 1 bowl sugar (approx. 225 gms)
- ½ cup water (approx. 70 ml )
- 2 tbsp ghee
- 1 tbsp milk optional
Instructions
- Place the thick bottom non-stick kadhai on the gas and heat it on medium-low flame
- Pour in sugar and water in a kadhai and let it simmer
- As sugar melts, turn the flame on high and add ghee and keep stirring continuously
- Sugar syrup starts thickening and it slightly turns into white colour and ghee prevents the formation of lump.
- You can do a drop test. Take a bowl of water and add a few drops of syrup in it. If the sugar syrup does not dissolve and seems like the thick glue it means it is the correct consistency.
- Turn off the flame and let it cool down by continuously stirring the mixture to avoid lumps
- When the mixture is completely dried, transfer it to a glass jar and if boora has lumps you can grind it in a mixer grinder and store it in a fine powder form.
