INGREDIENTS
Finely Chopped Vegetables 1.5 Cups( carrot, beans, cauliflower, peas, corn, potato or other veges of your choice, but very finely chopped)
Mint Leaves, Coriander leaves 2-3 tbsp
chilli pdr. 1 tsp or to taste
All Purpose flour / Maida 1/2 Cup
Bread Crumbs 1/4 Cup
Semolina (Rawa) 1/2 Cup
Water 1 Cup
Salt To Taste
Oil for Frying
METHOD
Wash the vegetables and finely chop them.
Chop the mint leaves & coriander leaves also and add it to the vegetables.
Heat one teaspoon of oil in a pan, add the chopped vegetables and stir fry it on medium-high flame.
Add salt and chilli powder and stir fry for 5 minutes
Boil a cup of water and then add 1/2 Cup of hot boiling water to the fried vegetables and mix well.
Add semolina now to the vegetables and again mix the semolina with water and the vegetables
Again add the remaining 1/2 cup of boiling water and mix the vegetables and semolina and cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, you can see the semolina nicely cooked with the vegetables, (almost like vege upma)
Now sprinkle one teaspoon of maida over the cooked semolina vegetables mixture, so that it isn't soggy and you should be able to make a balls out of it.
Allow the mixture to cool off. Make small lemon sized balls out of the veggie mixture.
In a broad plate, take maida and bread crumbs and mix well. Sprinkle salt and mix well.
This is the seasoned flour which we are going to use to coat the veggie balls.
Coat all the veggie balls nicely in the seasoned flour and keep it ready.
To get a crisp bondas, here's a trick.
We are going to dip the coated veggie balls in hot boiling water for two seconds and then coat it again with the seasoned flour.
This we are going to do at least for 3-4 times so that the veggie balls are nicely coated and we could get a crispier and restaurant style veggie pops/ bondas.
So for that, fill a pan with water till its brim and allow it to boil.
Take the coated veggie balls in a colander.
Just dip the colander in the boiling water once and remove immediately.
Don't let the balls in the boiling water for more than two to three seconds.
just dip once and remove it immediately.
Add the wet veggie balls to the seasoned flour and coat it again nicely.
Again repeat same steps. Take the coated veggie pops again in the colander and immerse it once again in the hot water once and then coat it again in the flour.
Repeat the same for another couple of times.
after 4 times, we can see the balls are nicely coated with the maida+bread crumbs flour.
Now if we fry the veggie pops in the oil, the outer coated flour will not separate from the vegetables and we would get a perfect snack.
Heat a pan of oil for frying the veggie pops.
When the oil is hot enough, gently drop the coated veggie pops and fry them in medium flame till the pops turns golden brown color in all sides and becomes crispy.
Remove the crispy veggie pops from flame and keep it in a bowl with tissue to remove the excess oil
Serve the crispy, delicious Veggie Bondas with Tomato ketchup or any Chutney. Serve hot !
