I have always been a savory snack lover. Bring me sweets, I will be gracious. But bring me some crispy, fresh savories and you have earned yourself a well wisher 
Turns out I have been lucky to have a partner who thinks exactly the same thing! While mom (who has come visiting) has been adamant in upping my abysmal dessert CIY section, I managed to coax her into making some crunchy goodies as well. It still seems like yesterday when my mother would bring down her Gas stove down on the floor from the countertop to start cooking up a plethora of Diwali goodies. Oh my! Just thinking about it makes me sigh! Now that I am the one cooking, I appreciate the time, effort and immense patience she had.
While I don’t cook that many for my own family, this Kara boondi does make it to the list. These versatile fried goodies are excellent on their own but can also be added to other savory goodies to make for a variety. I will get to that later. Chickpea flour is lightly spiced and made into a smooth thick yet flowy batter. Then this is pushed into spatula with perforated holes/ Boondi maker to make these delicious crunchy Boondi(s). You can use your own flavor profile to change these up for your family. These don’t really need an occasion to make and can be enjoyed at short notice. (...)
