Homemade Boondi | Gram Boondi || How to Make Homemade Boondi with step-by-step photos....

Boondi is quite an easy and crispy, crunchy snack that is made with just 4 ingredients. Boondi is actually a water droplet-sized deep-fried Pakistani snack prepared from gram flour

Typically, this boondi is available at nimko shops; people use it with dahi boondimasala boondi chaat, chana chaat, and dahi barayMy mother used to buy from the market to make boondi chaat; they were larger than this boondi, and I personally prefer to make these boondi at home. You can store them in an airtight jar or ziplock bag for a month easily.

An additional ingredient can be added: rice flour, which makes it extra crispy and gives the delights a bright yellow color. I didn’t have it available at the time, but it’s best to add it for the best result. Follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips above the recipe card.

Recipe notes:

To achieve fluffy and light gram flour batter, it is essential for the consistency to be pourable. 

To prepare a lump-free batter, start by making a thick paste with gram flour and a small amount of water, mixing it vigorously until well combined. Once you have a smooth paste, gradually add more water while stirring continuously until the batter reaches the desired smooth consistency.

For crispy boondi, properly heated oil is crucial. You can check if the oil is hot enough for deep frying by dropping in a few drops of batter; if they rise to the surface immediately, the oil is ready.

Use a deep, large pan or wok to ensure that when you drop the boondi using a slotted spoon, they do not stick together.

You can also create variations of boondi by adding ingredients like red chili powder, crushed cumin seeds, or rice flour.

Next, start whisking the batter using an electric beater until the batter turns light and fluffy. It will take almost 10-15 minutes.

Here, before frying boondi, check the consistency of the batter; it should be like a pancake or dosa batter.

Once the oil gets hot, hold a perforated spoon ( a big round spoon with multiple small holes in it). A little above the pan

And pour 2-3 tbsp batter on it. Tap its edges so that droplets of batter fall into the oil.

Curry Masala Powder | Homemade Curry Powder || How to Make Curry Spice with step-by-step photos... 

Curry Spice is an easy-to-prepare curry powder at home, a blend of strongly flavored spices popular in Pakistani cooking that are ground into a finely powdered substance. A basic curry powder blend may consist of an assortment of spices such as cinnamon, cumin, chiles, cloves, ginger, turmeric, coriander, and pepper.

Curry powder is a blend of spices that come together to give a warm and robust flavor to whatever dish it is used in. While traditional Pakistani curry powders are mixed from whole spices as needed for cooking, our simple homemade curry powder is an easy way to have instant access to curry powder, using spices that you probably already have in your pantry.
               
curry-powder-masala-recipe


There are numerous curry powder recipes with a wide variety of ingredients. Curry powders that are made at home are often created from a list of spices for ingredients that have a taste desired by the person creating the powder. 

Curries made with powder are used to season poultry, lamb, beef, chicken, mutton, and a variety of vegetables such as peas, cauliflower, onions, and potatoes. Curry powder should be stored in airtight containers to help preserve the flavor.

What is curry powder?
Curry powder is a spice mix that is used widely in Pakistani cooking.
Spice blends have been prominent in cooking for ages. And while it’s easy for Westerners to think of “curry” as a dish or spice with one characteristic flavor, at its most basic, curry powder is simply a mixture of spices.
You won’t find a single “curry powder” in Pakistan. Rather, you’ll find many varieties of curry powders depending on what dish you are looking to make.

Here are some useful tips and tricks to keep your kitchen clean: Cleaning Hacks for the Kitchen.

Cleaning the kitchen is extremely important in preventing the spread of germs, dirt, and a foul-smelling environment. The kitchen is where we prepare our daily meals, and if we don't keep it clean, we may be at risk of harmful bacteria and germs. Most women in households don't prioritize cleanliness. Either they don't fulfill the requirements for cleanliness, or they are too busy to find the time.

This results in dirt and germs around the stove, cabinets, slab, and sink, which can cause diarrhea, an upset stomach, inflammation of the liver and intestine, and other illnesses caused by germs and bacteria. Therefore, it is even more crucial to clean regularly. Cleaning every surface in the kitchen daily can be challenging, especially if you're on a tight schedule. Try these ideas to switch up your old cleaning routine and keep your kitchen clean and healthy.

Apply it evenly on the inside of your oven and around the burners of the oven and stove. and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper clean, you can add some white vinegar to the mixture.

Clean While You Wait:

It's always helpful to make the most of your time in the kitchen, especially when you have some free time. For instance, when you're waiting for a pot of water to come to a boil, instead of just standing around, try to get some cleaning done.

It Is Important To Wipe Down Your Refrigerator In Between Deep Cleaning:

It's common to need to deep clean a refrigerator if we've left something to rot or spilled something over the shelves. However, sometimes we only need to quickly wipe down the shelves to remove sticky marks and deodorize the fridge. To do this, use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the shelves and walls of the refrigerator. You only have to take items out if your fridge is full. 

Simply set the items to one side of the fridge to ensure you can cover all surfaces quickly, and then repeat for the other side. Just make sure to dispose of any expired or spoiled food to keep your refrigerator fresh and clean. This helps prevent the need for frequent deep cleaning and makes the process faster in the long run.

Clean Small Appliances:

Nowadays, having a clean and shiny microwave, electric kettle, and grinder is just as important as having one in your kitchen for daily use.

Microwave: If you haven't cleaned your microwave for a long time or if you had a food explosion that left grease on the ceiling, using lemon juice could be the best solution to break down the grease. 

Here's how to do it: Cook a small bowl of water and lemon juice (fresh or bottled) in your microwave for two-and-a-half minutes. When you open the door, you'll notice steam inside. This steam will soften the food spatters, making them easy to wipe away. Plus, your microwave will smell fresh and clean.

Electric Kettle:  Brew a couple of pots with 1:1 vinegar and water. Scrub the basket and the pot.

Take Out The Trash:

A clean and empty bag in the trash can is the finishing touch on a kitchen made fresh and clean for the next day. 

To do it Take out that stinky garbage. Turn the whole can upside down over the outdoor bin to empty any wayward trash. If it’s really gross inside, hose it out — or give it a good, hot shower — while you scrub it with a heavy-duty, bristly brush.

If it’s not that bad, use an all-purpose cleaner to wipe down the interior and exterior of the can — get the lid, hinges, and foot pedal — then put in a new eco-friendly liner, and your trash will stink no more.

Remember To Clean The Wall Tiles And

Floor While You Are Cleaning.

This is the final step of cleaning the kitchen. Keeping your kitchen wall clean and spotless is a testament to your hard work and dedication to maintaining hygiene and cleanliness in your kitchen. While it may take some effort and time, it is crucial for preventing diseases and maintaining good health. To achieve this, 

Spread the tile-cleansing gel over the tiles and floor, and allow it to sit for around 10-15 minutes. Then, start brushing to remove grease, stains, and dirt. Finally, wash the wall and floor with a generous amount of water. After sweeping the floor, use a wiper to clean it thoroughly.
