It is raining contineously here in Singapore. Looks like rain god is very happy with us here :) It is always good to have a cup of coffee with these bondas and stare at the rain which is pouring like there is no tomorrow to it.

 

It is very simple to make these ..

For bonda batter :

Chickpea flour (1 cup), salt, rice flour (1tbsp), soda-bi-carb (adige soda or cooking soda)

Sieve the flours and mix with enough batter to make a thick batter which looks like dosa batter.

 

Oil for deep frying

 

Method:

1.Pressure cook potatoes, peel the skin, mash into rough pieces.

2. Cut onions into small pieces and slit chillies vertically.

3. Heat oil and add mustard seeds. Once the mustard seeds stop popping, add turmeric

with bonda batter and spoon them into hot oil. You can use a spoon for this purpose.
