    Ingredients

    The following are the ingredients needed for Kara Boondi,

    • Gram flour - 2 cups
    • Rice flour - 1- 2 tablespoons
    • Chilli powder - ½ teaspoon or as per your preference
    • Turmeric powder - a pinch
    • Asafoetida/hing - 1 teaspoon
    • Salt as required
    • Garlic (crushed) - 5 cloves
    • Curry leaves - as preferred  (chopped and fried)
    • Cashews - 1 tablespoon (roasted)
    • Groundnuts - 1 tablespoon (roasted)
    • Water as required for batter.
    • Oil as required for deep frying.

    Preparation Steps

    For preparing batter:

    1. Take a large bowl, add gram flour, rice flour, salt and mix well. 
    2. Add water as much as required to mix the flour into a paste and mix well. 
    3. Add chilli powder and turmeric powder.
    4. Keep whisking to avoid lumps and add more water to make it thin. It must have the consistency which is slightly thinner than Dosa batter.
    5. You can adjust the consistency by adding more flour or more water as required.
    6. Once the batter is ready add asafoetida.

    For preparing Kara Boondi:

    1. In a wide heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep fry and let it heat at high flame.
    2. Once the oil is hot enough take a 'Kara Boondi karandi' or any perforated steel plate or ladle hold it above the pan. 
    3. Take half a cup of prepared batter and gently pour on the perforated surface. If required gently tap on it.
    4. The batter will start to fall in the shape of small beads through the holes. 
    5. Keep tapping until the batter has completely finished.
    6. The small balls of Kara Boondi will start to float up at this time and gently stir them all to cook evenly.
    7. Let it fry until it turns golden brown colour. Once the sizzling sound and bubbles have stopped take it out and transfer it a strainer or tissue paper to remove excess oil.
    8. Once the first batch of Kara Boondi, that is the first half a cup of batter is completely cleared out through the perforated surface, drown the ladle in water and clean it. This way the holes won't get blocked by batter
    9. Use a dry cloth to clean it and make sure it is not wet before you start with the next batch.
    10. Repeat the same process for the remaining batter. 
    11. Once the Kara Boondi is done, take them in a large bowl. 
    12. Add curry leaves, crushed garlic, cashews and groundnuts, toss and mix them well. You can also add or ignore any nuts as per your preference.
    13. Prepared Kara Boondi can be stored in an airtight container for a month.
