Baked Bonda and Vada Pav
About:
Bondas are dumplings of spiced mashed potatoes coated with gram flour batter and deep fried but here I choosed to bake them. They tasted as good as deep fried. These bondas can be enjoyed on its own with some sauce/dips as an appetizer/snacks or it can also be served in the bun as a vada pav.
Vada pav is an Indian burger where the spice potato dumplings are sandwiched between the two sliced of bun. I used green chutney and tamarind chutney to spread on the brown bun. It can be personalised with any of your favourite spread and toppings.
Enjoy this healthy appetizer.
Yields: 10-12 bondas
Preparation time: 20-25 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
