Boondi is a traditional Indian snack made from chickpea flour (besan), which is mixed with water to form a batter and deep-fried into small, round droplets. Its origins are rooted in Indian cuisine, where it is used in both sweet and savory dishes, such as boondi laddoos or raita. Boondi is a good source of protein and fiber due to its chickpea base, and provides essential minerals like iron and magnesium. However, it is typically fried, making it high in calories and fats, which may not be ideal for those monitoring their fat intake. For a healthier alternative, roasted or baked versions of boondi are available. Whether as a crispy snack or mixed into recipes, boondi is versatile and flavorful but should be consumed in moderation for balanced nutrition.
