· One more basic kind of stainer that we use for preparing this boondhi. In most of the houses, they use this kind of ladle. You can even use this doondi ladle, for preparing them. Below is the image of the basic doondhi ladle:
When you go to a store and ask for the basin, at the time you can able to find two different types available such as: fine besan and ladoo besan. Ladoo basin is a fine Couse of powder. But for preparing this we are going to take the basic fine besan.

Now just deep the sharp end of this spoon into the batter and just put one drop of batter into the oil from the height of 6 to 8 inches. If it takes lots of time for dropping into the oil, which means that it is a disaster batter. It is not good. So we need to add some more water into it.
