Urad Dal Bonda | Urad Dal Pakoda | Mysore Bonda

Urad dal bonda, or Mysore bonda, is a quick South Indian snack of deep-fried lentil balls. It is vegan and gluten-free.

Mysore bonda or urad dal bonda is another yummy and quick South Indian delicacy. This is a spiced urad dal fritter. These are similar to medu vada. These two items are almost the same, but different places have different ways of making them. It's a more uncomplicated form of medu vada, which is, in fact, for beginners as they don't need to be shaped like a donut (with a hole in the center).

I'm a huge fan of South Indian cuisine, especially breakfast items and snacks. These are the sort of food items that will please our taste buds. Again, I don't cook all these items on an everyday basis, so they bring variety to our menu card.

I make South Indian items on weekends, especially as these items need little preparation. So I prepare on weekends and keep the batter for 1 - 2 days. You can also plan the weekday breakfast menu accordingly.

Normally, several chutneys accompany such dishes, like peanut chutney and kara chutney. But you can also try these snacks with regular cilantro dip.

How to make Mysore Bonda?

This is a simple recipe but requires a little preparation.

Preparation:-

Soak the lentils for 4 - 6 hours. After 6 hours, remove water from the mixture and blend it to a smooth paste. While grinding, don't add a lot of water, as we need a thick paste.

If your batter turns a little thin, add a little bit of fine semolina to it and wait for it to absorb water. This will make a thick batter of the desired consistency. You can store this batter in the refrigerator for 2 days.

Make Dal Bonda Batter Mix:-

Then, transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and beat it for 2 - 3 minutes using a spoon or wired whisk. Add chopped chilies, ginger, coconut flakes, curry leaves, finely chopped coriander leaves, salt, and cumin seeds. Mix all ingredients well.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Drop a spoonful of batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden and crisp. Once done, remove it and place it on a paper napkin. Serve hot with some chutney or sambar.
