A spicy street food from South India in which spiced Potato balls are dipped in batter and deep fried. These are very much similar to the Maharashtrian Batata Vadas. It is a lovely tea-time snack that can be served with any Chutney of your choice, although these taste yummy even on their own. These can be packed when travelling too and can be enjoyed at Tea-time. Not only is it easy to make, it's absolutely amazing with Green Chutney. It's a must have for Iftaar in Hyderabad. And we all love to have them while breaking our fast. This is quite a good option because the same Potato mix that I use for Aloo Samosas is used by me even for these lip smacking Aloo Bondas as well. So whenever I make one of it, the next day I make the other one too. That means two birds in one shot. Isn't that wonderful? So let's get on with the recipe folks

Happy Frying and Feasting with Zeen!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Make a thick batter using all the ingredients mentioned for the batter. Use of Buttermilk depends upon the quality of the Gram Flour or Besan. Therefore use it accordingly.
2

Beat the batter well with a spoon or a whisk so that Gram Flour mixes really well. And fluffy, super spongy Bondas will be the outcome of it. Set aside for 15 minutes.
3

Heat Oil and add Mustard Seeds along with Asafoetida. Fry for a minute and then add chopped Onions and the rest of the powdered spices too. Saute until done. To the boiled and mashed Potatoes, add this and mix well. Make medium sized round balls of equal size. Heat enough Oil for frying on a medium flame.
4

Dip the spiced Potato ball in the batter and slide into the hot Oil carefully. Deep fry on low to medium high heat until nicely done. Serve these spicy Aloo Bondas with Green Chutney or any dip of your choice.
5

Enjoy these piping hot at Iftaar with your loved ones and friends as well as guests of the evening.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
