Easy Besan Bonda

Ingredients:

For the batter:

Besan flour - 1 cup

Rice flour - 3 tsps

Baking soda - 1/8 tsp

Chili powder - 1 tsp

Water - required to make a thick paste.

Salt - as needed

For the bonda mixture:

Onions - 1/2 medium (finely chopped)

Green chilies - 3 (finely chopped)

Curry leaves - few (chopped)

Coriander leaves - 1/2 cup (finely chopped)

Oil - for frying

Method:

Prepare the batter by mixing the ingredients given under "For the batter".

Once the batter is ready, add all the ingredients under "For the bonda mixture" and mix everything well.

Heat the pan on medium heat. Add oil. Once the oil is hot, take a spoonful of the mixture and pour it on the hot oil. You can also use your hand.

Pour as many as you can and make sure not to over crowd the pan.

Once it turns golden brown on both the sides, remove from the pan and serve hot.

It would take 8 to 10 mins for one batch.

Note:

The batter shouldn't be too thick or too thin.

If the batter is too thick, the bonda will be hard and if it's too thin, it will absorb more oil.
