Here is how to make Godumai Bonda – Wheat Bonda Recipe
Take a bowl and add in the idli dosai batter. A little old batter will work well for this recipe. If you dont have old batter, its fine. The regular batter will work equally well. Add about half a cup of water and mix well to combine. Do not add more water. We can add more water later if necessary.

Add in the chopped veggies, herbs and spices. Add in the whole wheat flour / atta. I also add a little baking soda while making the batter so the bonda is lite and not dense. The addition of baking soda also helps in getting that deep golden colour on the bondas. Do not add much. A little will go a long way. I have added about 1/4 teaspoon. Also, adjust the green chillies according to your taste.

Mix well to combine. Add a tablespoon of groundnut oil to the batter and mix well again. The addition of oil at this stage will help in getting crispy and crunchy outer covering on the bondas. They will also stay crisp for a long time. The godumai bonda batter should not be too thin as it will consume more oil when fried. If the batter is too thick, it will fry up to be dense. It should be wet and sticky but not runny. See the video above to see the texture of the prepared batter.

Heat groundnut oil in a kadai. When the kadai is hot, drop spoonful’s of batter into the oil. Using a wet hand helps in scooping the batter and placing in oil. Be gentle when placing in oil. Fry for a couple of minutes, turning the bondas once in a while so they fry evenly.

Drain the fried bondas on paper towels. Serve hot. You do not need any chutney or dip for these bondas. They taste good on its own.

Godumai Bondas are ready. Enjoy!
