How to make Mysore Bonda
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice powder, semolina, cumin seeds, and salt.
Add curd and gradually add water to form a thick batter (drop consistency). Allow the batter to rest for at least 20-30 minutes.
Add chopped onion, green chillies, ginger, curry leaves and baking soda to the batter. Mix well and set aside.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. (To test oil readiness, drop a bit of batter in it. If it rises quickly, it’s ready).
Take a small portion of the batter using your fingers or a spoon and drop it gently into the hot oil.
Fry the bondas in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they turn golden and crisp. Keep stirring occasionally for even frying.
Once cooked, remove the bondas from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Mysore bondas hot with coconut chutney or sambar.
Tips & Tricks
Adding a pinch of baking soda just before frying makes the bonda soft and fluffy.
Maintain medium heat while frying the bondas.
The batter consistency should be of drop and not pouring consistency.
Serving depends on the portion serving size of the bondas.
