Preparation Time: 10 Minutes; Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
Each Serving of Sweet Boondi (½ Cup) Contains 230 Calories.

YouTube Video:

Ingredients:

  • Chickpeas flour / Gram Flour / Besan 1 Cup
  • Baking powder 1 Tsp
  • All purpose flour/Semolina 1 Tbsp
  • Food color Orange 1 pinch
  • Food color Red 1 pinch
  • Food Color Green 1 pinch
  • Pinch of salt
  • Veg oil for frying
  • Water ½ - ¾  Cup to prepare
    batter
  • To prepare Sugar Syrup
    • Sugar 1 cup
    • Cardamom powder ½ Tsp
    • Water ¾ Cup+2 Tsp

Instructions:

  • To Prepare Sugar Syrup:
    • In a pan add sugar 1 cup, water ¾ cup + 2 Tsp and cardamom
      powder and cook on high flame and stir constantly.
    • Once sugar dissolves and water starts to boil cook for 2 minutes and then turn off the flame.
  • To Prepare Boondi:
    • In a bowl sieve besan, baking powder, all-purpose flour and add salt and mix well.
    • Now, by adding water prepare a lump free and
      dropping consistency batter(the batter should have flowing consistency so that it can easily drop in oil while frying). 
    • Divide prepared batter into 3 parts and add a pinch of red, orange and green food colors and mix well.
    • Meanwhile, heat oil in a kadhai and hold the strainer(boondi jhara)
      right above the kadhai and pour orange color batter into the strainer. 
    • Spread batter with a spoon, and you can see small drops of boondi falling in the hot oil.
    • Once done remove boondis from oil and place them on a paper napkin to absorb excess oil.
    • Similarly, prepare red color and green color
      boondi and mix them all together.
  • To Assemble the Boondi:
    • Now take sugar syrup and check consistency, it should be sticky, and there would not be any string (tar).
    • Add fried boondi to sugar syrup and mix well to coat boondi well.
    • Cover and keep aside to let the boondi absorb sugar syrup for 3-4 hours or overnight.
    • After 4 hours mix boondi well and sweet boondi is ready to serve. Enjoy!!!

My Take:

  • You can add sliced almonds, cashews or pumpkin seeds to garnish boondi.
  • The excessive free flowing batter will result in flat boondi, so be careful while preparing the batter.
  • Test oil by putting a drop of prepared batter in hot oil and if the boondi comes up it is ready and remember oil should not be very hot, that can burn your boondi.
  • Ensure Boondi Jhara/ Strainer is washed or wiped for each lot to get perfect round Boondis.

Hello Guys,
          Who doesn't like to munch on crispy, crunchy snacks like fries, fritters, onion rings, pakoras and many more deep fried snacks? Everyone loves it too! But deep-fried snacks contains more fat, calories and that thing stop us from eating and enjoying our favorite food. Now, no worries, you can eat your favorite snacks items guilt free. And here it comes my new kitchen gadget, Yay! It's an Air Fryer. This air fryer produces the familiar crunch of deep-fried foods, while still being more accessible to maintain. We tested air fryers recipes like fries, chicken wings, pakoras and many more, I will share it with y'all soon. This air fryer came close to giving us deep-fried results.


           We first tested this frozen Seasoned Arby's Curly Fries(me and my McDreamy are the biggest fans of these fries), and as our new year's goal is to lose some weight, so we couldn't eat deep fried food, so we started searching a good option for this curly fries and here it comes our brand new GoWISE USA 5.8 QT Electric Programmable AIRWISE FRYER. We find it fries and other deep-fried snacks items turn out to be closest to that deep-fried crunch. And now every time I air fry fries it gives us decent fries.


             For people like me(who loves the clean cooking or the people who like to dump all ingredients and let it cook by itself like we do in IP), fortunately, the air-frying process is like heaven. It is measurably less messy than deep frying. We didn’t have an oily pool to clean up afterward and the total cook time was short, so you don’t have to waste all that time waiting, stirring or sauteing. Isn't it helpful? The controls are pretty straightforward and simple to use. You can set your own temperature and time. In between, you can take out the frying pan and check for food that how much it cooked and flip it to cook from another side. I've been using it at home for the past one month now(it's my Christmas gift got from my Santa), and I am cooking everything from breakfast, snacks to dinners and it delivering similar taste and texture like deep fried food. Because of this, it’s often known as a healthier alternative to deep frying. It just ready in minutes and boosting the same texture as the deep fried ones and is a perfect side for burgers, chicken wings or for hectic weeknight dinners. So here's how to prepare an air fryer curly fries.




Preparation and Cooking Time: 18-20 Minutes.

Ingredients:

  • Arby's Seasoned Curly Fries Frozen ½ Packet

YouTube Video:


Instructions:

  • Preheat the GoWISE air fryer to 400°F
  • Line the air fryer basket with the frozen fries(don't overload it) and insert basket into the air fryer and cook for 20 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes pull out the basket and using tongs, flip or stir the fries.
  • Return the basket to the fryer and continue cooking for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  • Once times up, pull out the basket and serve immediately with ketchup. Enjoy!!!

My Take:

  • Don't overload the air fryer basket, because it may slow down cooking and keep air from reaching all 
  • the food, giving you uneven results and soggy fries.
  • You can spray some oil before air trying.
  • 84 g air fried curly fries contains 200 calories, 25 g carbohydrates, 10 g fat, and 2 g protein.
