Mysore bonda recipe – Crisp fried, fluffy and light snack. Mysore bonda is one of the popular snacks served in tiffin centers in Karnataka & Andhra. Bondas are made with stuffings like potato mixture or mix vegetables. But these are plain bondas that are lightly spiced but turn out crisp with a soft, fluffy and light texture inside.
Mysore bonda is made with maida or all-purpose flour. But I have used wheat flour or atta here. The taste and texture of these is good & fluffy even when made with wheat flour.
There is a nutty flavor that comes from the atta. Yogurt and soda are the ingredients that make these light.
If you do not like the nutty flavour then you can make these with maida. For health reasons, do choose organic all-purpose flour or at least unbleached flour.
Mysore bonda is similar to goli baje from the Mangalorean cuisine. These are usually served with coconut chutney. However they go well with any chutney or even with tiffin sambar.
