Instructions
Making Potato Stuffing
- First boil the potatoes in a pan or steamer or a stovetop pressure cooker adding water as needed. Later peel and mash them when still warm.
- Heat oil in a frying pan. Add the mustard seeds and urad dal.
- Let the mustard seeds splutter and the urad dal become golden in color.
- Next add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent and softened.
- Now add the ginger-garlic paste, curry leaves and green chilies. Saute for a minute.
- Add the turmeric powder, asafoetida and stir to mix. Next add the coriander leaves and stir again.
- Add the mashed potatoes to this mixture or add this sautéed mixture to the potatoes. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- If there is moisture, then you can sauté the potato stuffing mixture for a few minutes in a pan.
- Add lemon juice & salt. Mix well.
- Check the seasonings and add more salt or lemon juice if required.
- Make medium sized balls from this mixture. You can slightly flatten them if you prefer.
Making Batter
- In a mixing bowl take the gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, asafoetida, salt and baking soda.
- Add water as needed. Mix with a small wired whisk to create a thick flowing batter without lumps.
Frying Aloo Bonda
- Heat oil for deep frying in a kadai or pan. Keep the heat to medium.
- Dip each potato ball in the batter and coat it well with the batter.
- Gently and carefully place the batter coated potato balls in the medium hot oil.
- Fry until golden on both sides. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Continue to fry the remaining potato bonda in batches.
- Serve Aloo Bonda hot or warm with coconut chutney or green coriander chutney or mint chutney.
Notes
- Seasonings, spice powders and lemon juice can be adjusted in the potato mixture, according to your taste preferences.
- Ensure to add water as required to make a thick batter as a thin batter won't coat the potato balls nicely. This will lead to the potato mixture separating and falling in the hot oil, causing a lot of spluttering and make a mess in the oil.
- You can easily make this recipe without adding any onion or garlic to it. Simply add finely chopped ginger or ginger paste.
- Want to make spicier bondas? Then, add a few more green chilies in the potato mixture. If you want, you can also add some red chili powder in the potato mixture.
