| Bonda it is! |
Today the weather in Bangalore is rainy,windy and cold. My family and I gorged on Aloo Parathas,there was some mashed potato left from that. So, I decided to make Aloo Bonda or Aloo dumplings. It came out perfect, we had it with tea and some more. Here is the Recipe,hope you enjoy making it just as I did and savor it.
Aloo Bonda
Ingredients for the mash
Potatoes - 3
Green chillies - 1
Coriander leaf - 2 twigs
Ajwain/carrom seed/omam - 1 tea spoon
Ingredients for the Batter
Besan - 1 cup
Salt - as per taste or your requirement
Chilli Powder - 1/2 tea spoon
Water - 2 cups or as per requirement
- Pressure cook the Potatoes and wait till 5 whistles
- Once you take them out,run cold water and peel off the skin and mash them
- Add coriander leaf,green chilles (cut) and Carrom Seeds.
- Take vessel,put the besan in it,add salt and chilli powder
- Mix water and make sure it is not too watery, should be more like an in between thick and thin batter.
- Now, instead of deep frying this, use what we call as paniyarakkal.
this is how it looks like.
How to cook
- Make the mash into round balls
- dip this in the batter
- put oil in the kkal
- put the bonda inside as seen above
- flip it over only when the bottom is fried well
- make sure you don't burn it, the color should be brown and not black :)
Here is what we ate! happy cooking and eat well.
