Boondi Recipe

Directions:Prepare batter by mixing gram flour, rice flour, red chilli powder, baking soda and salt in a medium size bowl and gradually adding water as required until medium thick (like dosa batter). Make sure that there are no lumps in the batter and it is not very thin or thick.Cover it with muslin cloth and let it set at room temperature for 10 minutes.Heat oil in a pan for deep frying. When oil becomes hot, hold perforated spoon (a big round spoon with multiple small holes in it) a little above pan and pour 2-3 tablespoons batter on it. Tap its edge so that droplets of batter fall in the oil. Repeat the process and make as many droplets as possible in a pan until all of them are able to remain submerged in oil and can be stirred easily.Stir them using spatula and fry over medium flame until they become crisp and attains bright yellow color. Do not over fry them; browning is the sign of over frying.Take out them using another perforated spoon, drain excess oil and transfer to plate. If possible spread kitchen absorbent paper on plate to absorb remaining excess oil.Clean wipe the perforated spoon and repeat the process for remaining batter.Sprinkle some chat masala on it and enjoy it as a standalone snack or store and use it for making raita.
