Boondi Raita
Boondi Raita Ingredients
1 cup chickpea flour / besan flour1 tsp semolina (optional)1&1/2cup water
Oil / ghee (for frying)
Recipe Step By Step
Step 1
If you have boondi flour, use 1 cup of it instead of chickpea (besan) flour and semolina. Mix the flour, semolina (if using), and water to form a smooth batter (not too thick or too thin), ensuring there are no lumps. After mixing well, add warm oil to the batter for a fine texture.
Step 2
Heat oil or ghee in a pan.
Step 3
Use a boondi spoon (if available) or a large spoon with holes. Pour the batter onto the spoon, allowing it to drop through easily while frying. Do not fry on high flame, as it will burn
Step 4
Fry until crispy in texture, then drain. The boondis should form tiny balls.
