Cook Time 30 mins

Total Time 40 mins

Servings 300 grams

Ingredients

Besan flour 1 cup
Rice flour 1/4 cup
Red chilli powder 1 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida 1/4 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp or as required
Cooking soda a pinch
Asafoetida 1/4 tsp
Water as required
Oil for frying
Curry leaves few
Garlic 3
Cashews 7-8 or 1 tbsp
Peanuts 2 tbsp

Instructions

Sieve besan and rice flour so there is no lumps and keep it ready.
To the mixture add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, cooking soda and asafoetida.
Add water and mix to form a medium consistency batter which is neither too thick or thin. I used little less than 1 cup of water.
Heal oil and using perforated spoon pour the batter to form small balls. Keep the spoon at little height from oil. If you keep very high it may form tails.
Oil should be hot.
Keep stirring and fry till boondi is crisp.
Drain them in tissue. Repeat the same for rest of batter.
Wipe the back of the laddle clean before making boondi again.
Crush Garlic and fry them along with curry leaves, cashews and peanuts in the same oil.
Mix crushed garlic, peanuts, cashews and 1/2 tsp red chilli powder with boondi.
Boondi is ready.

Notes

If the batter become too thin can add little more besan to adjust consistency.

I added red chilli powder while mixing. It is optional. You can use pepper powder also.

Test the consistency of batter by dropping in oil to check if it forms ball and adjust water accordingly.
