Urad dal bonda recipe | Minapappu punugulu

By swasthi , on June 22, 2019, Leave a Comment, Jump to Recipe

Urad bonda recipe – Sharing an easy, quick and delicious snack recipe. These urad dal bonda can also be made for a weekend breakfast or during festivals. Bonda is a round shaped deep fried snack from South Indian Cuisine. Mysore bonda, aloo bonda, egg bonda and veg bonda are some of the varieties. Bondas can be plain or stuffed with potatoes or mix vegetables.

These urad dal bonda taste similar to the medu vada, just that the shape is different here. They turn out crisp from outside and fluffy from inside. This recipe is very easy and can be tried by beginners too.

Since these are quick to make & fry, I usually make these instead of vada during festivals. The batter can be made in the mixer grinder or wet grinder. You can serve these with a Chutney or Tiffin sambar.
