Kaara Boondi Koora

Ingredients:

Kaara Boondi - 1/2 cup

Onion(medium) - 2

Green chillies - 1 or 2

Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tbsp

Coriander-cumin powder - 1/2 tbsp

Red chilly powder - 1/2 tbsp

Turmeric - 1/4 tbsp

Salt - as per taste

Water - 1/4 cup

Oil - 2 tbsp

Procedure:

1. Wash, clean and chop onions finely.
2. Take a pan, add oil and heat it.
3. Add green chillies, curry leaves and stir them for 1 min.
4. Add chopped onions and saute them until they are transparent.
5. Now add turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, red chilly powder, salt, mix well and add water.
6. When water is boiling, add kaara boondi and mix slowly & carefully under low flame.
7. After one minute, switch off the flame and close the lid for 2-3 minutes.

TIP:  Add little water, and do not cook for long time after adding kaara boondi (by long term cooking the kaara boondi will become too soft and turns as paste, so the entire taste of the recipe will be altered). Be careful while adding the salt because the kaara boondi which you are using for the recipe, may already have salt in it.
