For those of you who enjoy a good snack, here is one for your enjoyment. Bonda originated in India as an Indian potato dish and has since created various variations throughout the country with different ingredients such as sweet potatoes or tapioca. One popular variation is “Aloo Bonda,” which are usually deep-fried balls made from mashed boiled potatoes that resemble doughnuts without holes.
There are also other favorites like green peas, pineapple grated into small pieces to make it look more appealing than just pureeing these fruits (which can be messy), paneer (Indian cheese), or even vegetarian versions using chickpeas instead of meat! The flavors vary regionally but they all have their own unique style making them stand out while still the original process and ingredients to be almost the same.
