Method
Make a smooth batter with above ingredients,batter consistency should be a bit thinner than the bajji batter.Heat oil in a pan,keep the boondhi ladle little above the pan.Take a ladle of batter,tap or gently press it so that the batter falls evenly into the medium hot oil.fry these boondhis till crisp & golden brown on all sides.Remove it on a kitchen paper so excess oil is absorbed into the paper.Repeat the same till you finish the batter.Transfer into a bowl ,sprinkle the salt,red chilly powder & add the fried curry leaves & peanuts.Toss it well,cool & store it in an air tight container.


Variation - I added 2 pinch of cooking soda to just plain besan flour & rice flour of the same above measurement.Fried the boondhis & added the salt,red chilly powder, fried cashew nuts,curry leaves & ground nuts.See the picture above.
