problem with making boondhi
Hi,
Every time I make boondhi, they always turn out to be flat. When I drop the batter in the oil, it goes down to the bottom and flattens. How to correct this problem?

Are you using the correct 'karandi', the seived 'karandi' whose holes on the under side are 'raised' unlike in the ordinary seived 'karandi'?

If the batter is very thin ie too watery then boondhi absorbs a lot of oil. Please try with a batter of thicker consistency. I am also against adding soda bicarb to the batter which also makes it absorb oil.

another thing which I realised was that the il has to be HOT. if the oil isnt very hot, the oondhi also becomes flat. also, make sure you quickly fish it out, if you are trying to make sweet boondhi. If you let it turn brown, the sugar syrup will not be well absorbed. If you are making boondhi for topping thayir vadai, you can let it fry for a few seconds more...but I realised the difference between yellow and brown (crispy) is only around 10 seconds.
