VEG BONDA is nothing but healthy version of potato bonda. We use mixed veggies like beetroot, carrot, green peas, beans, potato etc in this bonda. You can finely chop all veggies except potato & cook them in pressure cooker & you can mix them with smashed potatoes. But i found a easier way :D I peeled & cut potatoes, beetroot & carrots into big pieces & put them in pressure cooker & took 4 whistles & then smashed them. Then i added chopped & cooked beans & green peas & then tempered it. You can follow either way.
