Mysore Bonda (3)

Golden-fried bonda arrives warm from the oil, its crispy exterior giving way to a spiced potato filling infused with curry leaves and mustard seeds. These three spheres make an ideal starter or snack, traditionally served with tangy sambar and cooling coconut chutney for dipping. The contrast between the crunchy shell and soft, savory center creates layers of texture that pair perfectly with chai or as a prelude to your main course.
