Keep the mixture aside for 15 - 20 minutes, till the boondi(s) are well soaked in the sugar syrup and turns to be soft to make a ball out of boondi(s). Keep in mind that we shouldn't keep the soaked boondi's more than this time period as it might make the boondi dry and hard to make the round balls.
