Delicious Aloo Bonda Recipe - A Traditional Indian Snack

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 medium potatoes (boiled and mashed)
  • 1 cup gram flour (besan)
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons coriander leaves (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  • 1 cup water (for batter)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Potato Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chopped chilies, coriander leaves, turmeric powder, salt, and asafoetida. Mix well.

    Ensure the potatoes are well mashed to avoid lumps.
  2. Make the Batter

    In another bowl, mix gram flour with water to create a smooth batter. Add salt and mix well.

    The batter should be thick enough to coat the potato filling.
  3. Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot.

    Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle.
  4. Shape the Bonda

    Take small portions of the potato filling and shape them into balls. Dip each ball into the batter.

    Make sure the filling is fully coated with batter.
  5. Fry the Bonda

    Carefully drop the batter-coated balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches.
