MYSORE BONDA

Ingredients:

1 cup urad dal
1 tbs raw rice


1 small onion chopped fine
1 green chillie chopped fine
1 tsp ginger chopped fine
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbs coconut cut into bits, (palu, palu)
1 tbs coriander leaves chopped
1 tbs black pepper crushed coarsely
Little asafetida powder
Salt to taste

Oil for frying

Method:
Soak the urad dal and rice for about 3 hours.
Drain and grind with less water to a fluffy smooth paste.

Add in all the other ingredients and mix well.
Keep in the fridge for about an hour.
Heat a wok with the oil. Have a small bowl of water ready.
Wet your hand, take a small amount of the ground batter.

Shape into round balls, drop carefully in the hot oil.
Lower the flame and cook the bonda until golden in colour.
To make round bondas, you have to slowly keep stirring the bondas in the wok.
Make sure the inside gets cooked.

Drain in paper towel and enjoy the crisp bonda with red coconut chutney.
