STEP 1
Sieve besan for 1 to 2 times, Take all the dry ingredients, gram flour, salt and food colour for the boondi batter in a mixing bowl. Then add 1 1/2 cup of water (Pour little at a time) and whisk smooth without forming any lumps. Prepare a thick flowing consistency batter. The consistency of the batter is important. We will check if the consistency is right, by frying a few boondis. The amount of water to be added depends on the quality of gram flour. The boondis should have a round shape. If they become flat, the batter is thin and if they get tail ends, the batter is thick. If thin, then add a bit of gram flour and check by frying a few boondis. If thick, then add a bit of water and then do the same test. Once you get the correct consistency, proceed with the next step of frying the boondis.
STEP 2
Heat oil in a pan, take small holes perforated spoon and pour prepared besan batter. Slowly tap with the help of spoon, making sure the drops of besan fall into oil. Do not over crowd the boondis in oil. Fry the boondis for less than a minute. It should not get crisp. It is enough if the boondi is cooked. It will have to remain soft. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain onto tissue paper.
