Boondi Mixture / Kara Boondi

Boondi Mixture is a snack made with Boondi . This is a crispy, salty, spicy  tea time snack and is our all time favouite.

I didn't have the boondi laddle but I always wanted to make this at home. With the boondi laddle you will get perfect round shaped boondi. But I tried without that. Shape of the boondi is not perfect but the taste is.
