Dear Sk!

I regret for my delayed reply.

Here is the kaaraa boondhi recipe for you. For periya kaaraa boonthi, you must make it using a jaarani with big holes than the ordinary kaara boondhi jaarani karandi. Do post your mother’s poricha kuzambu recipe here with the kaaraboondhi.

KAARA BOONDHI

Ingredients:

Gram flour- 250gm
Rice flour- 50 gm
Salt to taste
Soda bi carbonate- a pinch
Cashew nuts [broken in to small pieces]
Curry leaves- a handful
Red chillies-3
Asafetida- a small piece

Procedure:

Sieve the flours with soda bi carbonate, add the salt and then make a thick paste by adding enough water. Pour enough paste on the jaarani karandi and spread a little paste on it quickly so that the paste drops as kaaraapoondhis in to the hot oil directly. Fry them to golden brown and then drain them on a kitchen towel. Fry the curry leaves and the cashew nuts in the same oil to golden brown and again place them on the kitchen towel. In a little oil fry the asafotida and the chillies. Then powder them finely with little salt.. Sprinkle it to the kaara boonthi mixture and mix well.
