How to Prepare
Boil the potatoes until soft, then peel and mash them in a mixing bowl.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, and let them splutter.
Add chopped onions, green chilies, and curry leaves to the pan and sauté until onions are golden brown.
Add turmeric powder, salt, and mashed potatoes to the pan. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Let it cool.
Cut the bread slices into halves or quarters, depending on the size of bonda desired.
Take a portion of the potato mixture, shape it into a ball, and place it on a bread slice. Fold or cover the bread over the filling to enclose it completely. Press the edges to seal.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
Carefully place the prepared bread bondas into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
