VEG. BONDA !!!!!!!!


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.

       Besan flour                           - 1 cup
       Red chilly pwd                      - ½  tsp
       Hing                                     - a generous pinch
       Turmeric pwd                        -  1/4 tsp
       Cooking soda                       - 1/4 tsp
       Salt to taste

3. Now mash cooked potatoes+beetroot+carrots well & add cooked green peas +beans to it.
4. Now add finely chopped coriander leaves+salt to taste+chilly powder & mix well.

5. In a bowl, put besan+red chilly powder+turmeric pow+salt to taste & mix well.
6. Add sufficient water( i used leftover water of cooked potato+beetroot+carrot. That's why bonda looks slightly reddish :D ) & make a smooth batter out of it. Consistency of batter should not be too thick or too thin.
7. Now dilute hing in little water & mix it to the batter.

8. Heat oil in a pan.
9. Make small small  balls from the mixture. Dip them into the batter & deep fry them.
