After it cools down, store it in an air-tight container and enjoy the savory snack!

Tips

  • While one person can completely do it by themselves, it is fun to do it together with someone.
  • Make a list of all the ingredients, ladle and collate them in your kitchen before starting.
  • Add ready-made Boondi (available in grocery stores) to reduce the preparation time.

If you get to prepare it, share your experience!
