Steps

1

Wash the potatoes. Pressure cook them for two whistles, then peel and mash them by hand. Heat a skillet and add 2-3 tablespoons oil. Add 1/3 teaspoon mustard seeds, chopped curry leaves, chopped green chilies, and chopped ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add 1/3 teaspoon turmeric powder and salt to taste. Add the mashed potatoes and mix everything well. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until well combined.
2

Turn off the heat. Transfer the potato mixture to a plate and let it cool. Once cooled, divide and shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
3

In a bowl, add chickpea flour, salt to taste, red chili powder, baking soda, and gradually add water to make a thick batter. Heat oil in a deep pan. Once the oil is hot, dip each potato ball into the batter and fry until golden brown over medium heat.
4

Once all the bondas are fried, serve hot with spicy green chutney or fried green chilies. (Famous Gujarati Aloo Bonda Bhajiya)
