Keerai Bonda with step by step pictures.
When coming for tea time snacks we always opt for vadai, bonda, murruku , etc. Deep fried snacks with a hot cup of ginger or masala chai/tea are the best combo. Nothing can beat this heaven made pair if you have not tried this do try it and I'm sure you will love it. Someday in last week Chennai had some slight showers and I was badly craving for some deep fried snacks for my tea. I bought keerai/greens and kept soem stalks to make this bonda the next day to fulfill my craving. Its so easy to make just chop the green finely and add to the bonda batter and make.
Here I have used arai keerai but you can other keerai varieties also. Here I have used chopped onions but if you want to make it 'no onion no garlic" then avoid using it and proceed. Let us see how to make this.
