బూంది కూర (Boondi Curry )



Boondi Kura may sound weird to many people even in India, but this is one of my favs.
During marriages in Andhra, they make Laddus by dipping the boondi in sugar coated liquid. And when ever there is left over Boondi they just make a curry out of it which by the way has its unique taste.


Ingredients:


Boondi- 3-4 Rice cups
Onions-1
Oil-2-3 table spoon
Green Chillies-1
Salt-to taste
Turmeric-pinch
Cumin Seeds- 3/4 table spoon
Mustard Seeds-1/2 table spoon
Ginger Garlic paste- 1 table spoon
Coriander Leaves
Coriander Powder-1/2 table spoon
Curry Powder-1 table spoon

Recipe

1)Start with the Tadka by adding mustard seeds and cumin seeds to hot oil. After the mustard seeds start cranking, add green chillies, curry leaves and pinch of turmeric and cook for a min.



2) Then add onions along with salt which makes the onions cook faster. For this curry i prefer the onions to be very small so that they can mix with boondi very well. Make sure to cook the onions until they are golden in color. Then add ginger garlic paste, Coriander powder and Curry powder.




3) In a separate bowl add cashews , oil,salt,chilli powder, masala and cook the cashews.


4)Since this mixture is pretty dry add some water to it and make it a paste so it mixing well with Boondi. Now add Boondi, cashews and some milk on top of it. Too much of milk would make it sweet so sure u use less or substitute with milk if ur not sure.

5) Mix everything really well and add any salt if needed. Finally sprinkle some coriander leaves.
