Ingredients
For the Potato Filling:
- 2 Potato medium-sized, peeled and boiled until tender
- 1 large Onion finely chopped
- 1-2 Chili Pepper finely chopped (adjust to taste), green
- 1 sprig Curry Leaves chopped
- 1/4 cup Coriander chopped (cilantro)
- 1/2 inch Ginger finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp Mustard Seeds rai
- 1/4 tsp Cumin Seeds jeera
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
- 1 pinch Asafoetida hing
- 1/2 tsp Coriander Powder dhania
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Batter:
- 1/4 cup Gram Flour besan or chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp Rice Flour
- 1/2 cup Water or as needed for desired consistency
For Frying:
- 3 cup Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Potato Filling
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds; let them splutter.
- Add chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, coriander, and curry leaves. Sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add garam masala, coriander powder, asafoetida, and chili powder. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes. Season with salt and mix well. Sauté for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Make the Batter
- In a bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, and salt.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Fry the Aloo Bonda
- Heat the remaining oil in a deep pan or kadai for deep frying. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle immediately when a small amount of batter is dropped in.
- Roll the potato mixture into small balls.
- Dip each ball into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully drop the battered balls into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry over medium heat, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Remove the Aloo Bonda and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve
- Serve hot with your favorite chutneys or sauces.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Aloo Bonda
- For extra crispy Aloo Bonda, add a tablespoon of rice flour to the potato mixture before shaping into balls.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the fritters; otherwise, they'll absorb too much oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters. Fry in batches.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
