Bhoondi

Bhoondi is a popular Indian snack made from small, crispy pearls of gram flour (besan) batter that are deep-fried to a golden hue. Known for its satisfying crunch and versatility, bhoondi can be enjoyed in both sweet and savory forms. In the savory version, the fried boondi is often tossed with salt, chili powder, and spices, sometimes mixed with curry leaves or peanuts for an added kick. This savory bhoondi is commonly enjoyed as a standalone snack, as a topping for chaat, or in raita. Its delightful, crispy texture and adaptability make bhoondi a beloved treat across Indian households.
