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:
- Take a large bowl, add gram flour, rice flour, salt and mix well.
- Add water as much as required to mix the flour into a paste and mix well.
- Add chilli powder and turmeric powder.
- 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.
- You can adjust the consistency by adding more flour or more water as required.
- Once the batter is ready add asafoetida.
For preparing Kara Boondi:
- In a wide heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep fry and let it heat at high flame.
- Once the oil is hot enough take a 'Kara Boondi karandi' or any perforated steel plate or ladle hold it above the pan.
- Take half a cup of prepared batter and gently pour on the perforated surface. If required gently tap on it.
- The batter will start to fall in the shape of small beads through the holes.
- Keep tapping until the batter has completely finished.
- The small balls of Kara Boondi will start to float up at this time and gently stir them all to cook evenly.
- 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.
- 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
- Use a dry cloth to clean it and make sure it is not wet before you start with the next batch.
- Repeat the same process for the remaining batter.
- Once the Kara Boondi is done, take them in a large bowl.
- 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.
- Prepared Kara Boondi can be stored in an airtight container for a month.
