KARA BOONDI /SPICY BOONDI RECIPE

Spicy boondi or kara boondi is one of the easiest snacks to be prepared with the staple ingredients readily available at home.Sweet boondis are my all time favorite which i prepare occasionally at home and serve after a lip-smacking south indian lunch. Boondi preparation is a litte bit tricky part in this recipe. .The batter should be in perfect consistency and at the same time oil shouldn’t extremely hot since that wouldn’t give us the perfect round shaped boondis.

This tea time snack is mainly prepared during festival seasons , especially during Diwali.Besan is the key ingredient required for this recipe.Spicy and crispy Kara boondis are the right choice to much along with a hot cup of tea compared any store bought snacks .
