Even though i have made so many new recipes to post here specially for diwali. I didn’t make bulk to give it as gifts for relatives and friends..Today i started making new dishes to give for friends, I made oats murukku, roasted gram dal murukku and motichoor ladoo. Tomorrow i am gonna make carrot burfi, custard powder halwa and jangri..No worries somehow i managed to take pictures of it. Will share them as soon as possible..
Sweet boondi was on my todo list for quite a long time. Finally i made it yesterday and it turned out to be perfect. I made kara boondi and boondi ladoo on the same day as well. 
I hope you will love this and let me know how it turns out for you..

Preparation Time : 10 mins

    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😃
