ABOUT Boondi Kadhi (Fried Gram Flour Balls in Spiced Yoghurt) RECIPE

This is a quick version to any Kadhi Pakora. It is super easy and at the same time super delicious too. Kadhi, being one of my all time favourite comfort foods, I like having mine with plain steamed rice. This side dish can also be served with any flavoured rice or any type of Indian bread. So do give it a try next time when laziness overpowers you in making pakoras.
