Mangaluru 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, black pepper, 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 and fry them in batches.
5. Fry until the bondas turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bondas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
7. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
