Method
- Soak the urad dal, channa dal and rice for about four hours.
- Grind the dals into a paste. Do not add water.
- To this mixture, add the finely chopped green chillies and ground pepper corns.
- Add salt to taste. (you can do a taste test at this stage to see if the salt is sufficient)
- Pour oil in a kadai and wait till it is sufficiently heated.
- Take a little batter in your palm and drop it into the oil carefully.
- Fry till golden brown, turning it over occasionally until all sides are done.
- When the bondas are slightly warm, cut them into bite sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix the curd, chaat masala, chilli powder, and salt to taste (only if needed).
- Mix well with a spoon.
- On a serving plate, place the cut bondas.
- Spread the curd mixture with the masala over the bonda.
- Add the mint chutney and sweet chutney.
- Add the finely chopped onions, followed by mixture/sev.
- Finally, garnish it with chopped coriander leaves.
Note: You may omit the mint and sweet chutney and it would be just as tasty.
