Dish type: Appetizer or Snack
Key ingredients: Besan Flour
Time: Less than 15 minutes
Procedure:
Items Required:
Besan flour - required amount.
Salt, chilly powder - required amount.
A pinch of hing
Onion, green chilly, corriander leaves - chopped.
Oil - for deep frying
Dosa/idly batter - 1/2 cup
Method:
Put all the above ingredients in a bowl. Do not add water to the mix. Now heat oil in a kadai. Once the oil is heated nicely, take 1 or 2 tablespoon full of oil and pour it to the bowl where the ingredients are there. Slowly mix the oil and the items. Take care not to hurt your hand. Now add required amount of water and keep it aside.
Now take small ball amount of the batter and drop it carefully to the oil.Turn all the sides till the bondas becomes golden brown in colour. Remove and serve hot with a cup of coffee :)
Note: Adding the dosa/idly batter to the bonda mix really adds taste and brings the softness to the bonda than adding rice flour. Make sure to heat oil and add the oil to the mix before adding water. Tomato sauce or coconut chutney are best combinations for this :)
