Ingredients:

• Urad Dal – 1 cup
• Fenugreek seeds – 4 or 5
• Salt to taste
• Green Chillies – 1
• Ginger – 1/4 inch chopped finely
• Whole Black pepper – 1 tsp
• Curry Leaves – chopped 1/2 tbsp
• Oil for deep frying

Method:

Soak urad dal and fenugreek for over 3 hrs. Grind them with the ginger and green chilli and salt to a coarse thick batter. Do not overgrind else the batter will become very smooth. Add in the black pepper and curry leaves. Mix well.

Slightly oil the palm of your hand. Take about a small ball of the batter and drop into the hot oil. Fry until a nice golden brown. Make sure the heat is not on a very high setting, otherwise the inside of the bonda would not have cooked well.
