In this Homemade Tagar Recipe, which is also known as Boora or Bura Sugar, I’ll show an easy way to make Flavored Tagar, or Boora, which I normally use to make Besan Ladoo in place of normal powdered sugar. Using it to make the Ladoo gives it the texture and taste that it is famous for. Tagar or Boora is porous in texture and is made by melting sugar in water so that it loses its moisture, gets cleaned, and reaches the crystallization stage. It enhances the taste of any normal Mithai or Sweet.
