Masala Bundi

The process of making Masala Bundi involves preparing a thick batter from chickpea flour (besan), spices, and sometimes rice flour for added crispiness. This batter is then dropped into hot oil using a special utensil with small holes, creating tiny droplets that fry into small, round balls. After frying, the Bundi is typically seasoned with a mixture of spices, including red chili powder, black salt, cumin powder, and other flavorings to give it a distinctive taste.

Masala Bundi can be found in various regions of India and is a popular choice during festivals, as a snack, and even as a topping for certain chaat dishes (Indian street food). Keep in mind that recipes and variations might differ, so it’s a good idea to explore different sources for more specific instructions on how to make this snack.
