Notes

Tips to make the best Boondi Curry
* Make sure the boondi is crispy before adding it to the curry.
* If the gravy is too thick, you can add more water to adjust the consistency.
* Do not overcook the gravy as it can make the tomatoes lose their texture and flavour.
* Add the boondi to the gravy just before serving, as it tends to absorb the gravy and can become soft if left in it for too long.
