HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE MYSORE BONDA RECIPE

Wash the urad dal in running water several times till the water runs clear.  Add enough water  to soak for 3 hours.  Then drain and discard the soaking water.

Add the drained urad dal to the wet grinder or blender jar.  Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water and grind to make a smooth and fluffy batter.

Mix all the ingredients well. With the help of a spoon, scoop out the batter and gently drop the batter into the hot oil. (Alternatively, take a golf ball size lump of the batter and shape it roughly into a ball and slide it into hot oil gently.)

NOTES/TIPS

Rice flour makes the bondas more crispy.

To check if the oil is hot for deep frying, drop a pinch of the batter into the oil.  If it begins to sizzle and floats right away, it means the oil is ready now.

Take care not to overcrowd the pan with too many bondas.

You can also add fresh coconut pieces to the batter before making the bondas.

Take care to add less water while grinding the urad dal.  The batter has to be thick and fluffy.
