Kara Boondhi

Kara boondhi as its known in tamil is one of the famous snack. Its prepared in almost every home during festival days like diwali. I would like to do it as its one of the snack that can be made easy with less effort. You need a boondhi laddle to make this or the easy as it is can be made using a laddle which has small holes in it (I guess this should be available in almost every kitchen)

Ingredients:
2 Cups Besan flour (Kadalai maavu in Tamil)
4 tbsp Rice flour
1 tbsp Chilli powder
2 tsp Hing
Few fried Cashewnuts
Oil for frying
Salt as reqd
Curry leaves (fried) for garnishing

Method:

1. Mix besan flour, rice flour,chilli powder, salt and hing in a bowl.
2. Make them to a paste consistency adding some water. It should not become too liquid.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan.
4. Once the oil is hot enough to fry take the mixture and spread it on the laddle. This should directly fall on the oil.
5. Just be sure that the mixture falls as droplets in the oil.
6. Fry them till it turns golden brown in colour.
7. Take the boondhi out and drain the excess oil by spreading in a paper towel.
8. Now add the fried cashews and curry leaves to the boondhi. Mix well.
Your yummy Kara boondhi is ready to taste.
