ingredients
Boondi is a snack food made from chickpea flour batter that is deep-fried to create small, crispy balls. Boondi can be eaten plain or used to make raita, a side dish often served with pulao or other meals. To make raita, boondi is soaked in water to soften, then sieved and added to spiced yogurt.
How it’s made
Boondi is made by pouring a thick batter of besan through a sieve and dropping it into hot oil to create small, round balls. The size of the boondi depends on the size of the holes in the sieve.
