Notes

  1. Spices in the stuffing can be tweaked as per your choice.Like you can add garlic /ginger / coriander powder /red chilli powder etc.
  2. In the above i have used pudina and garam masala powder for extra flavor.If you want simple, you can omit them. But i would recommend to try with pudina.
  3. Instead of or along with carrot,you can use fresh peas / corn / finely chopped capsicum/ finely chopped beans etc for Mixed Vegetable Bonda.
  4. If doing for festivals or functions , you can omit onions.
  5. In the above , i have used rice flour to make the bondas little crisp.You can also add cornflour instead of that.
  6. Soda and addition of hot oil will make bondas crispy. If you want you can omit soda but hot oil is a must. Else texture of outer cover of bonda will not come good.
  7. The batter should be of right consistency.Too thin, will absorb lot of oil, if thick it will not cook properly.

    Yum, yum! The weather in Mumbai resembles the weather you have described in Bangalore – hot/humid, dark, gloomy with little traces of rain. And you said it – these bondas would make the perfect snack for the rainy season. Oh, how I wish I could fly to Bangalore and snatch one of those tempting balls out of your plate right away!
