In a separate saucepan, combine sugar and water, cooking until sugar dissolves to form syrup.

Add cardamom, saffron, and rose water to the syrup and stir well.

7

Mix the fried boondi into the syrup until well coated.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then shape into small balls (ladoo) with your hands.
