NOTE: – to make the boondi mix about 3-4 table spoons of besan powder with water to make a paste which is neither too fluid nor too viscous. Add a dash of baking powder and keep aside for 10-15 minutes. Then heat oil for deep frying and when hot take a teaspoon and drop blobs of the besan mixture to form little balls. Remove as soon as they turn golden brown and put into a bowl of water. In a couple of minutes they will become soft. Remove from the water and squeeze out the excess water with your hand.
