masala boondi

Masala Boondi is a spicy and crunchy Indian snack made from small, round, fried balls of chickpea flour (boondi) that are coated in a flavorful blend of spices. To make masala boondi, chickpea flour batter is dropped through a perforated ladle into hot oil, forming small, crisp boondi pearls. After frying, the boondi is mixed with spices like red chili powder, turmeric, cumin, chaat masala, and salt, giving it a tangy and spicy kick.
