Bonda Recipe
Crispy Bonda is a very popular tea time snack from South Indian cuisine which is loved by all over India! This easy snacks is made from urad dal. The process of making bonda involves deep frying the fluffy urad dal batter mixed with flavorful spices and deep fried in hot oil. The combo of hot crispy bondas along with filter coffee / masala chai is unbeatable. I love to enjoy this crispy snack when its raining outside during monsoon season. It tastes soft chewy inside with crisp n golden texture outside. Here's the easy recipe! Preparation time: 10 mins
