Step 1
Crush cardamom pods and extract the seeds. Grind seeds to a fine powder; mix with sugar and set aside.
Step 2
Heat ghee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add chickpea flour and stir constantly until golden brown and fragrant, 6–8 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F. Transfer cooled batter to a boondi ladle or squeeze bottle with small holes.
Step 4
Squeeze batter through ladle directly into hot oil in small pearls. Fry until golden and crispy, stirring gently, 2–3 minutes.
Step 5
Drain fried boondi on paper towels for 1 minute. While still warm, toss with cardamom sugar until evenly coated.
Step 6
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
