Hi aarthi, just a small suggestion on this boondhi making. While preparing the batter, first check before you start pouring it into oil. Take a spoon and at the backside of spoon dip the batter and try dropping few drops in oil. If it is perfect balls then you have the perfect batter. Or else you need to add water into the batter and try the same trick. This works well when you need perfect round boondhi😃
Hats off to your efforts for keeping this blog so interesting and. lively😃
