The vegetable bonda is a popular South Indian snack made with a crispy gram flour batter filled with a delicious mixture of vegetables like potatoes, peas, carrots, and spices. It is typically deep-fried until golden brown and served hot with coconut chutney or tomato ketchup. This savory treat is perfect for any occasion and will surely be a hit with your family and friends.
This Bonda is a crispy, golden South Indian snack made by wrapping spiced mashed vegetables in a thick besan–rice flour batter and deep-frying to perfection. Tender-cooked veggies are mashed, then sautéed with onions and green chilies and seasoned with red chili powder, asafoetida, and salt before being shaped into lemon-sized balls. Each ball is dipped in the seasoned batter and fried in hot oil until beautifully browned—crunchy outside, soft and flavorful inside.
