Urad dal bonda in yogurt/ thayir

I used the same vada batter and made this bonda, except no onion in this batter, just green chilli and salt. They are similar to ‘thayir vada’ except the round shape. This bonda will taste more good if the ‘pulicha’(sour) thayir is used.

Ingredients:

Urad dal – 1cup

Green chilli – 2

Hing- 1tsp

Salt to taste

Oil to fry

Curd/thayir – 2cups (thin)

Kara booondi – 2tbsp (store bought) for topping.

Method:

Soak urad dal in water for 1hour.

Grind them in blender adding green chilli, hing and 2 to 3 tbsp water.

Transfer the batter to a bowl, add salt and mix well.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan. When the oil is ready to fry, make the batter into small balls and fry in the oil.

Keep the flame medium. Fry both sides till they turn light brown and crispy.

In the meantime take 2cups of curd in a bowel. Beat them, add pinch of salt and mix well and keep aside.

When the bonda is ready, remove from the oil and transfer them to the paper towel. Immediately place the bonda in the beaten curd. Make sure they are fully coated with curd.

Let they sit in the curd bowl for at least 1 to 1 ½ hrs before serving.

Serving:

Place the bonda in a cup or plate, pour some beaten curd over it, sprinkle some kara boondi and serve.
