2Add saffron or yellow/ orange food colour or ( keasari colour) .
Keep aside it.Heat the ghee in a kadhai and hold the jharni/ perforated spoon just over the kadhai/ frying pan.(neither too low height nor too much height) pour 2 to 3 tbsp of the batter at a time over a round perforated spoon (boondi Jharni),
3Check the boondi is round in shape or not if it does not happen or the boondi size is distorted, reduce the amount of water in making batter. Check the consistency.
4Heat the ghee / oil in a kadhai.. Check the heat is hot enough to make boondi..(put a drop of batter in kadhai to check whether it is hot or not.If the boondi rises up instantly into the oil,then it is ready to use..if not wait for a while so the oil/ ghee heat up little more.
