Notes | FAQ

- Recipe to make Kara Boondi: Click here
- Serve immediately once prepared. It would be nice, if the boondi is still a little crunchy. If not the boondi will get soggy. But don't worry, it would still taste good.
- If your kara boondis are already spicy and salty, then do not add the extra chilli powder and salt.
