Mysore Bonda (Maida Bonda) is a traditional and delicious evening snack served in most of the restaurants in Tamil Nadu / Karnataka. Usually Bondas are made using vegetable like potatoes, but mysore bonda is very light and made just using the flour. This tasty bonda can be served along with Coffee or we can also serve with Idly/dosa etc. Coconut chutney is one of the best accompaniment for mysore bonda.
Mysore Bonda (Maida Bonda) is a fried dumplings made with maida (all purpose flour), rice flour, curd and spices. They are crispy outside and fluffy inside.A very easy to make and a tasty snack.
Mysore Bonda is often confused with Urad dal Bonda. In Tamil Nadu, we commonly make Bonda using Urad Dal instead of all purpose flour. But Mysore bonda will always be made using all purpose flour.

Nice. There is another bonda called 'goli baje' or Mangalore bonda which is very popular snack in Udupi/Mangalore area. There is a very slight change in the ingredients for that and rest everything is same. There is no rice flour, jeera in that recipe. We add curry leaves and a tiny amount of sugar to the flour and make the bonda. It is slightly chewy / soft in nature and needs to be consumed when it is hot.
Even i thought it is called mangalore bonda first, i tasted it in the mangalore once and it has the same ingredients. yesterday i tried this and it came out well. Thanks madam.
i tried out this recipe, but the bondas were very hard, i think it should rest for atleast two hours, 30 min not enough. what is the consistency of the bonda batter ?
The batter should be nicely aerated. We should nicely mix the batter atleast for 5 minutes and then the air would get incorporated and it would help to get soft bondas
Hi Meenal, We are adding the baking soda to get a fluffy vada inside. Otherwise, it become hard. Add little baking soda for a soft vada. Alternatively you can also add Eno salt, which is available in the market.
