Mangalore Bonda

How to Prepare

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground urad dal batter with rice flour, chopped green chilies, ginger, curry leaves, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and salt. Mix well to form a thick batter.
2. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
3. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, take small portions of the batter, and shape them into round balls.
4. Carefully drop the balls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
5. Fry the bondas until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking (about 3-4 minutes per batch).
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bondas from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
