Mix gram flour and baking powder with water until smooth. The batter should be pourable for frying.
Heat oil in a pan. Drop small droplets of batter into the hot oil until golden brown.
Combine sugar and water in a pan. Heat until dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.
Pour warm sugar syrup over the fried boondi. Mix well to ensure all boondi is coated evenly.
In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Gently fold the syrup-coated boondi into the ice cream mixture, ensuring an even distribution without breaking the boondi.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Freeze for 4-6 hours, then serve with extra boondi on top.
