Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Urad Dal 1 Cup - 250ml
- 1 tablespoon Raw Rice
- 2 nos Green Chilli Finely Chopped
- 1 inch Ginger Finely Chopped
- 1 teaspoon Peppercorns
- Few Curry Leaves
- ¼ cup Coriander Leaves Chopped
- 1 tablespoon Chopped Coconut
- 2 Cups Oil For Deep Frying
Instructions
Soaking Urad Dal
- Wash the urad dal thoroughly. Soak the Ulundu(Urad Dal) and rice in water for 2 hours. After 2 hours strain the water.
Grinding Bonda Batter
- Strain water from soaked dal and rice. Add the dal and rice to a wet grinder or mixer grinder. Grind it by adding 3 tablespoon of water. Do not add more water at once. Grind till the urdhal is smooth without any lumps. If we grind it in mixer, just add water little by little at a time and grind it till the batter is smooth. Do not add more water. Take it from grinder after the Urad Dal is ground properly. If you take the flour in your wet hands, it should roll like a ball. If we drop a pinch of batter in water, it should float it in water. If the batter gets sunk, then we need to grind it more. This is the right stage to remove from the grinder. If we are grinding in mixer, then take out the smooth bonda batter and beat it nicely for 3-5 minutes using a whisk or ladle. This will aerate the batter. This step is very important and not to be skipped, if are grinding batter in mixer, otherwise, the bondas will be harder.
Spice up the batter
- Take out the batter in a vessel. Add green chili, peppercorns, ginger, coconut pieces, curry leaves and coriander leaves along with salt and give a good mix.
Deep Frying Process
- Heat oil in a pan. Check the hotness of the oil. If you drop a pinch of batter, it should raise immediately in the oil. Then the oil is ready. Wet your fingers and palm with water and take a dollop of batter, roll it like a ball and then gently drop in oil. In each batch add 3-4 pieces.
- Deep fry the bondas till they are crispy and golden brown. Flip the bondas so that they get evenly fried up and make sure the flame is low while frying the bondas. Take out the fried bondas and keep it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Repeat the same for rest of the batter.
Serving Time
- Serve the crispy and yummy Ulundu Bonda with Coconut Chutney and enjoy the evening with this wonderful snack!
