Medu Bonda, a popular snack from South Indian cuisine, is a deep-fried fritter made with a rice-based batter or all-purpose flour mixed with yogurt, spices, and herbs. Often flavored with ginger, green chilies, curry leaves, and cumin, these golden-brown delights are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Traditionally, the batter is wrapped around a spiced potato filling before frying. While Medu Bonda is highly comforting and flavorful, its deep-fried preparation makes it calorie-dense and high in fat. On the upside, it carries some nutritional benefits from the use of protein-rich yogurt and potassium-packed potatoes, as well as antioxidants in the spices. Often paired with chutney or sambar, it’s a go-to indulgent treat best enjoyed in moderation.
