Ingredients

  • 2 cups Urad dal split black gram
  • 2 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green chilies
  • 1 tablespoon curry leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
  • 1 cup water
  • salt to tatse
  • Oil for deep frying 2-3 cup

Instructions

  • Soak the Urad dal for about 4 hours.
  • Drain the water from urad dal and blend it to a smooth consistency using very little water until the batter is very thick.
  • Pour the batter in a big bowl and add salt, ginger, cilantro, curry leaves, green chilies, and mix thoroughly.
  • Place a pan with oil ( about 2 - 3 cups) over medium heat for deep frying.
  • When the oil is hot, pour about a tablespoon of the batter in the oil. You can add about 8 to 10 tablespoon of the batter in one batch. For an aesthetic appeal, make sure the batter is spherical when you drop it in the hot oil.
  • Remove from the oil when the bonda turns golden brown.
  • Urad dal bonda is ready! Serve hot with coconut chutney.

Notes

  • If your batter turned out to be thinner, add few tablespoons of rice flour.
