If you have left over idli/dosa batter sitting in your
refrigerator, then here is a quick and easy snack for you. These are wonderful deep fried snack with
light tangy and chewy texture. This can
be called in variety of names like Dosa pindi unta, Punnugulu, Punnukkulu, Dosa
maavu Bonda...whatever way you call it, these little golden beauties are sure
an addictive one. This bonda can be made
in different ways by adding Sago, besan or semolina. If the batter is very sour then it tastes yummy
by adding any one of the above ingredients.
I personally love to make them in sour batter by adding semolina or
sago. More the sour the tastier it is :)
You can also make them plain even without adding any of the above ingredients. If you are planning to make them plain then for
this the batter need not be very sour. Today I am posting the recipe by adding
Semolina to the Dosa/Idli batter.
Here is the recipe for COCONUT CHUTNEY.
DOSA MAAVU BONDA / PUNNUGULU - INDIAN HUSHPUPPIES !!!
Ingredients :
Dosa/idli batter - 2 cups
Semolina - 1/4 cup
Rice flour - 2 tbsp
Green chilli paste - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - few chopped finely
Coriander leaves - few finely chopped
Baking soda - 1/16 tsp (pinch)
Salt as needed
Oil for frying
Method:
1. Mix the semolina with the dosa batter and keep it aside
for at least one hour.
2. When you are ready
to make the bonda, add rice flour, baking soda, green chilli paste, chopped
curry leaves, chopped coriander leaves and salt.
3. Heat oil in the deep vessel.
4. Temper the mustard in tsp of oil and add to the batter. Add
water as needed to adjust the consistency of the batter.
5. The batter should in dropping consistency.
6. Check the temperature of the oil just by dropping small
pinch of batter, if the batter immediately comes up and floats on the top of
the oil then the temperature of oil is right for frying.
7. Now drop the
batter to small balls directly to the oil, fry them till they are nice golden
brown in color.
8. Drop 8 to 10 small balls for every batch. Don’t over crowd them. Repeat the same with
remaining batter and fry them till nice golden brown color.
8. Drain them in
kitchen towel and serve hot with coconut chutney.
Enjoy !!!
Note:
1. You can also add finely chopped onion, cumin seeds to the
batter.
2. You can also add chilli powder instead of green chilli
paste.
3. Add required amount of water to adjust the consistency.
