Bread Bonda is an easy recipe for a tasty and filling after-school
snack for kids. Kids usually like both bread and potatoes and are sure
to like this vegetarian snack. Use whole-wheat or whole-grain bread to
add more natural fiber and nutrition.
Bread that is 100% whole grain usually contains brown rice and barley,
and as such provides more protein, fiber, and other nutrients than
multigrain bread which has ingredients like refined flour that are bad
for you.
Mash the boiled and peeled potatoes. Add salt, garam
masala, red chilli powder, and cilantro, and mix well and make
golf-sized balls.
Take some water in a medium bowl. Dip the bread
slices one at a time, and gently press the water out.
Place the potato ball in the center of the bread
slice, and fold the edges together to make a tight ball, making sure
the edges are sealed, so filling doesn't come out when frying.
Heat oil in a frying pan, and gently drop the bonda
into the oil and fry on medium heat until golden brown.
Serve the bread bonda hot, with ketchup or a chutney
of your choice.
