Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is "boondi"?
Boondi are small, crispy, pearl-like drops made from a deep-fried besan (chickpea flour) batter.
Does the boondi stay crispy in the yogurt?
We mix the boondi in just before serving so it retains a bit of crunch, though it naturally softens as it soaks in the yogurt.
Is this raita sweet or salty?
It is a savory, lightly salted side dish designed to complement main courses.
Is this gluten-free?
Yes, chickpea flour is naturally gluten-free, but please inform our staff if you have any severe allergies.
How spicy is the Boondi Raita?
It is very mild, featuring just a tiny pinch of chili powder for flavor rather than intense heat.
About Boondi Raita
Enjoy the delightful textural contrast of our Boondi Raita, a popular Indian side dish. We blend smooth, whisked yogurt with tiny, crispy, deep-fried gram flour pearls (boondi) and season it with aromatic roasted cumin and a hint of chili powder for a savory, creamy, and crunchy treat.
