Bonda is a popular South Indian snack traditionally made by deep-frying spiced potato fillings coated in a gram flour batter. The filling typically consists of mashed potatoes seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, ginger, and turmeric, while the batter is made from chickpea flour and water, often spiced with cumin or chili powder. It is commonly enjoyed with coconut chutney or sambar. Originating from Indian cuisine, Bonda is a flavorful and satisfying snack. Nutritionally, it is a good source of carbohydrates from the potatoes and provides some protein and fiber from the chickpea flour. However, being deep-fried, it is high in calories and fat, which may not make it ideal for those monitoring calorie or fat intake. It can be modified for a healthier version by baking instead of frying or incorporating additional vegetables into the filling. Moderation is key to enjoying this tasty treat responsibly.
