Kara Boondi | Khara Boondi

Kara Boondi
My mom used to make Kara Boondi or Boondi mixture during Deepavali / Diwali festival. She makes larges batches of boondi for Kara boondi, boondi mixture and laddu. She uses big perforated ladle particularly made for preparing boondi. She starts making boondi's in evening and it will go till midnight. Sometimes I used to help my mom in preparing boondi. Here, I have used two small perforated ladle's. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Kara Boondi Recipe.

Tips:
  • Beginners can try experimenting the recipe with 1/4 cup or 1/2 Cup besan flour.
  • Adjust chilli powder and pepper powder to your taste.
  • If the batter consistency is not correct. then you may get boondi's with tails. If you get boondi's with tail, add little water to make the batter watery.
  • If the boondi's are not in round shape, but flat in shape, then the batter is very watery. Add 1 or 2 tbsp of besan flour.

  3. For me, its like a big major task making the boondi. I am contented with eating store bought ones. Yet I love the ones you made, mainly because of the fragrances, spices and curry leaves.
