Bonda / Potato Bonda



I still remember the time when we as kids used to pass by Indian tea shops, the aroma of hot fresh snacks used to make us feel so hungry. Dad used to get them often for us. Pazham Pori, samosa and bonda are my favorites. Today I will share the recipe for bonda - one of the famous tea time snack in Kerala.
