Yummy snack which can be had even without any accompaniments.
INGREDIENTS:
Whole white urad dhal - 1 cup
Green chillies - 2 or 3
Ginger - 1/2" piece
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Pepper - 1/4 tsp.
Coconut(finely chopped) - 2 teaspoons
Salt - as per taste (or approx.1/2 tsp.)
Oil - to deep fry
METHOD:
Soak dhal in water for an hour.
Finely chop green chillies, ginger, curry leaves and coconut.
Grind the soaked dhal in a grinder to a smooth paste using very little water. The batter when dropped in water should float and that is the consistency. When smooth and slightly frothy, add salt, pepper and also the chopped items.
Heat oil . Meanwhile, wet your palms with water, take out a ball from the batter. Carefully drop them into the oil and turn it on all sides and cook until golden brown. Serve hot with coconut chutney.
NOTE:
Ensure medium heat of oil. If oil is smoking, the bondas will become red but will not be cooked.
Do not add salt in the beginning. The batter doesn't double if added in the beginning. Add salt only when the batter is smooth.
Wet your palms,or fingers for each bonda and the batter doesn't stick to your hands.
