Heat 1/2 cup water in a pan and add 1 cup sugar, cooking until melted and slightly syrupy, about 1-2 boils.

Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

In a bowl, sift 1 cup semolina and add 1 handful of almonds and 3-4 green cardamom pods, then blend to a fine powder.

Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla custard powder to the semolina mixture and mix well to avoid lumps.

Add 1 cup water to the mixture and mix until smooth, then cover and let sit for 15-20 minutes.

After resting, heat 1 cup ghee in a pan over medium heat.

Once the ghee is hot, shape the semolina mixture into long, thin shapes and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 7 minutes per batch.

Remove the fried pieces and let them drain on paper towels.

Grind the fried pieces in a chopper until they resemble boondi, not too fine.

Heat the sugar syrup again and add the ground mixture, cooking for 1-2 minutes to combine.

Cover and let it steam for a while to ensure the mixture absorbs the syrup and becomes fluffy.

Finally, mix in nuts like coconut and raisins, and shape the mixture into laddus.
