Bread Bonda is a yummilicous tea time snack.  It is a very popular snack at all over Mumbai especially road side. Aloo mixture is sand witched between two slices of bread & deep fried in a flavoured besan batter. I used left over POTATO BONDA stuff as inner stuff for this. A must try recipe. Quick & easy too.

2. Mix all the ingredients mentioned under "For aloo mixture" & make inner stuffing & keep it aside.

3. Place a slice of bread on a clean flat surface & spread 2 tbsp of the aloo mixture evenly over it.
4. Place another slice of bread over it, press tightly from all the sides. ( you can use little water for this).
5. Repeat the same thing with other 2 pieces of bread.

6. Dip each piece in the batter till it is evenly coated from all the sides, slide in hot oil & deep fry in a medium flame till they turn light brown in colour & crisp from all sides.
7. Drain on  absorbent paper.

8. Cut both the pieces diagonally & serve ho with mint chutney & tomato ketch up.
