MYSORE BONDA / ULUNDU BONDA

   I recently became a fan of this Mysore bonda AKA Ulundu bonda. I tasted this in my periyamma’s house. Actually I helped her in making this bonda,while she kept ready the batter ground. We made in large numbers and I totally loved making balls (that too bigger size bondas) and deep frying them in a big kadai…… and a big laddle……,fun!!. Its crisp out and soft inside,love the coconut bits the best in this one. Yesterday I ground batter for vadai for aadi perukku and decided to make bondas in the evening and post it here in my blog!
Mysore-bonda

Ingredients: ( Makes around 15-18 bondas)

Urad dal(whole)/Vellai muzhu ulundu 1/2 cup heaped
Fresh coconut bits 2 tblsp
Black pepper 1 tblsp
Asafoetida 1/4 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp(approx.)
Coriander & curry leaves chopped-2 tblsp
Rice flour 1-2 tsp
Green chilli,ginger Optional
Oil To deep fry

coctail-pricker

Method:

  1. Soak urad dal for 2-3 hours and grind with less water until fluffy and smooth.

  3. Heat oil in kadai and keep a small bowl of water to grease your hand,grease ur hand well with water and make small desired sized balls.

  4. Drop in oil carefully. Lower the flame and cook both sides until golden in colour. When you turn over to cook the other side,you can keep the flame in medium high. Just make sure the inside gets cooked. For this you have to cook slowly.

  5. Drain in paper towel and enjoy the hot, crisp bondas!

We had it with coconut chutney, which is the best combo!

Ulundhu-bonda
Notes
  • I used only little more than 1/4 cup water. This varies upon the uraad dal quality.
  • If your batter is not good for making shapes,keep in the fridge for an hour and then try making.
  • If you want you can add a green chilli and a piece of ginger while grinding. You can also add a tsp of jeera along with pepper.
  • If your urad dal is old and less in quality, you may not get more volume of batter,apparently you will get less numbers of bondas.

Pretty clicks...crispy n perfect bondas. I havent tasted mysore bondas and urs tempt me to the core :)

Divya said...

Hi Raji i have never tried making bondas as i don know how they get ball shaped bondas in hotels... you are an expert in getting the right shapes no matter whether it is bonda or vadai... you really have a nice "kai pakuvam"... yesterday i made kaju katli which was a super hit at home... i stil don have the confidence to make bondas... yours looks truly awesome :-)

jayasree said...

Superb clicks, Raji. Bondas looks crisp and well shaped. I know it is not easy to get these beautifully shaped balls. Though one tends to think shaping vada is more difficult.

I luv this bonda. Whenever I go to restaurants my first choice is this bonda. By the by the 1st two pictures cannot be seen from my side. The link when clicked leads to the picture. Is something wrong?

I've always wondered how this is different from vadais... (besides the shape that is).

I too love the tiny coconut bits inside :)

Hi Raji, wonderful post. I think I have said this before but I would like to say it again. You pics and post, step wise instructions are so inspiring that I want step into my kitchen and start making them at once... and that's what happened with these bondas too. They turned out great...very crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, great as a evening snack or as breakfast.
You are always first on my blog visit list and will stay on that spot.
