- Mix the besan, rice flour, chilli powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida powder, and salt. Add one tablespoon oil and mix well with your hand.
- Transfer 3/4 cup of this mix into another bowl and add water to make a smooth batter like dosa batter. Keep aside for making boondhi.
- Knead well the remaining 1 1/4 cup of flour mix into a smooth dough by adding water little by little. Keep aside for making sev.
- Heat oil in a large pan and fry curry leaves until crispy. Fry peanuts until the skin turns into a light golden brown. Fry gram dal to a light golden color. Drain everything on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Keep aside.
- For making boondi, hold a slotted spatula over the oil and pour the batter on to it. Gently shake and rotate the slotted spatula to drip the batter into the oil, fry until crisp. Drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
