Ingredients
- 1 cup gram flour
- 2 tablespoons rice flour
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida
- Salt
- Oil
- 2 tablespoons peanuts

Instructions
- Heat oil for deep frying.
- Take besan flour, rice flour, asafoetida, salt and chili powder. Add 2 teaspoons hot oil to thi flour mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Add water gradually and make a thick yet flowing batter. The batter should be very slightly thin than bajji batter. Batter consistency is the most important factor to get perfect boondis.
- We need two perforated ladles to make kara boondi. One for tapping the batter and one for draining the fried boondis.
- Take a ladle with round holes and hold it above the oil. Now with a big spoon take some batter and pour over the perforated laddle. Tap slightly. Batter will fall as round balls.
- Deep fry till the sizzling sound stops and boondis turn golden brown. Remove to a kitchen towel.
- Once all the batter is done, deep fry peanuts, broken cashews and curry leaves
- Take all the fried ingredients in a bowl and toss very well.
- Add some pepper powder roasted in ghee if you wish. Toss well. Store kara boondi in airtight box and serve as required.
Notes
1. Batter consistency is the most important factor
2. If the boondis form tail while tapping, it means water is less in the batter. Add 2 -3 tablespoons at a time, mix well and try again.
3. If the boondis go flat it means batter is thinner than required. Add 1-2 tablespoons gram flour and mix well. try again.
4. After pouring the batter do not rub the batter. Just tap gently.
