  • Soak the coriander seeds,toor dhal and raw rice in water for 10 minutes.
  • Now take the soaked ingredients,green chilly,ginger and coconut in a blender jar and grind it to a fine paste.Churn the curd with a hand blender or pulse it in a blender.Set it aside.
  • Now heat the pan with oil and splutter the mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds,then goes in the asafoetida and red chilly,curry leaves..Add the ground paste and rinse the blender jar with water and add it.Add the turmeric powder and salt.
  • Boil it for couple of minutes or till the raw flavor disappears.Now add the churned yogurt and let it cook for one boil.Put off the flame once its cooked for one boil.Don't let it boil for long time.
  • Now heat the oil in a pan to fry the bonda,once the oil becomes hot enough drop a small size of batter in the oil.Fry it till golden and remove it.Add the cooked bondas to the kuzhambhu and mix it well.Garnish it with coriander leaves.Let the bonda get soaked in the kuzhambhu for 15- 20 minutes.

  • Serve it with rice and potato fry.







  • Do not boil the kuzhambhu for a long time after adding the yogurt otherwise it may curdle.
  • The bondas absorb the kuzhambhu after soaking and becomes thick,so adjust the consistency of the kuzhambhu while boiling.
