Manoharam recipe | Manovellam | Sweet Boondi video recipe

Manoharam recipe | Manovellam | Sweet Boondi | Green gram boondi is a simple and traditional recipe prepared during festive days and very special occasions like marriage.

Manoharam is made with green gram flour and is made either as a boondi or as a murukku. We use to make it as a boondi but many use to follow making it as a murukku and it is even made as a cone shaped and kept in marriages. This is then called as sweet murukku

It is good to have this during pregnancy.

Tips:

  1. To get crispy manoharam boondi, add the batter only after the oil is hot. Check by putting in few drops of batter first. oil should sizzle as soon you put it in and the boondi should float on top.
  2. To get the dark brown colour. red food colour is added to the batter, it is optional.
  3. dry ginger and cardamom powder can be added either to the batter or to the jaggery.
  4. we will not need the entire jaggery. This dish will be mildly sweet, so add little at a time and mix, taste it. adjust accordingly. We will not need entire quantity of jaggery mentioned in the measure.
  5. if you add more jaggery, the crispiness of boondis will go off.
  6. Do not store it in air tight container. Also cool it down completely before storing.
