MYSORE BONDA / ULUNDU BONDA

in , , , on Friday, August 3, 2012

   I recently became a fan of this Mysore bonda AKA Ulundu bonda. I tasted this in my periyamma’s house. Actually I helped her in making this bonda,while she kept ready the batter ground. We made in large numbers and I totally loved making balls (that too bigger size bondas) and deep frying them in a big kadai…… and a big laddle……,fun!!. Its crisp out and soft inside,love the coconut bits the best in this one. Yesterday I ground batter for vadai for aadi perukku and decided to make bondas in the evening and post it here in my blog!

  4. Drop in oil carefully. Lower the flame and cook both sides until golden in colour. When you turn over to cook the other side,you can keep the flame in medium high. Just make sure the inside gets cooked. For this you have to cook slowly.

We had it with coconut chutney, which is the best combo!

Notes
  • I used only little more than 1/4 cup water. This varies upon the uraad dal quality.
  • If your batter is not good for making shapes,keep in the fridge for an hour and then try making.
  • If you want you can add a green chilli and a piece of ginger while grinding. You can also add a tsp of jeera along with pepper.
  • If your urad dal is old and less in quality, you may not get more volume of batter,apparently you will get less numbers of bondas.
