Ingredients

  • 2 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 cup besan
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • Salt
  • 1/4 tsp hing
  • 2 green chilli
  • 1 large onion
  • Oil
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 2 tbsp rice flour

Instructions

  • Alright, if you're in the mood for a crispy, crunchy, totally irresistible snack, then this keerai bonda recipe is your ticket to flavor town! This is the kind of dish that has you hooked after just one bite—tender spinach wrapped in a spiced batter, deep-fried to perfection.
  • Let's get this party started, shall we?
  • Grab yourself a bowl and throw in chopped onions, green chilies, gram flour, rice flour, a pinch of hing (asafoetida for that funky umami kick), salt, red chili powder (because we're bringing the heat), and fennel seeds for a touch of sweetness and crunch. Give it all a good mix—like, really work it so all those flavors get cozy with each other.
  • Next, it's spinach time! Toss in your freshly chopped spinach leaves and mix them in with all the spicy, aromatic goodness. The spinach doesn't need to be perfect, just chopped and ready to soak up all those bold flavors.
  • Now, add a bit of water, just enough to make a thick batter that holds together when you scoop it up. You don't want it too runny, just thick enough to coat those spinach leaves and give you the ultimate crispy outside.
  • Mix it well to make sure everything's combined like a well-oiled machine.
  • Let's talk oil. Heat up your kadai (or any deep frying pan) on medium heat and let the oil warm up. You're looking for the perfect temperature, not too hot or too cold. You want the bonda to cook evenly and get golden brown.
  • Once the oil's ready, scoop out small portions of that glorious batter using a spoon and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Let them fry until they turn that beautiful golden brown color you've been dreaming about. Don't rush this part—let them get crispy!
  • Once your keerai bonda has reached that crispy perfection, take them out of the oil and rest them on some kitchen towels. This will soak up any excess oil, leaving you with a crispy treat that's not too greasy.
  • The moment of glory! Serve your keerai bonda hot, fresh out of the frying pan, with a side of tomato sauce (or chutney if you're feeling fancy). Each bite is a crispy, spicy, spinach-filled joy that'll have everyone coming back for more. This recipe of keerai bonda is one for the books—perfect as a snack or appetizer, and guaranteed to impress anyone who's lucky enough to get a bite.
