Happy Saturday my friends 🌟🌟. Today's post is Aloo Bonda (Potato stuffed fritters). Well, Bonda is a deep fried South Indian potato based snack. When served hot, they are very crispy and delish. Bonda with a cup of coffee / tea is a bliss to have especially in monsoon season 😅.
Ingredients:
Potato 4 big
Carrot 1
Green Peas 1/4 cup
Green Chillies 1 or 2
Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying
For the batter:
Besan Flour 1 cup
Rice flour 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
Hing pinch
Red Chilli Powder 1 tsp

Method:
1. Prepare the filling:
Pressure cook the vegetables for 4 whistles. Boil green peas until soft. Once done, mash the potatoes and mix well with the rest of the veggies.
Add salt, turmeric powder, green chillies and mix well.
Allow the stuffing to cool. Add a tsp of lime juice.
Mix well and make a medium sized balls. Keep it aside.
2. Prepare the batter:
In a bowl, add besan flour, rice flour, salt, hing, red chilli powder and little food color (Orange). Adding food colour is optional.
