How to make Bonda mor kuzhambu with step by step images


  1. In a bowl add urad dal. Wash and soak urad dal in water for 3 hours.
  2. After 3 hrs add the soaked urad dal in a blender and grind into thick batter using very little water. (I used around ¼ cup water while grinding) Transfer the ground batter to a bowl and keep it aside.
  3. Now in another bowl wash and soak rice and toor dal together for 10 minutes. ( After 10 minutes discard the water or you can use it while grinding)
  4. Now in a blender add grated coconut, green chilli, ginger chunk, cumin seeds, peppercorn and soaked rice and toor dal. Grind it into fine paste using little water.
  5. Heat oil in a pan for frying. Take small portions of the batter and drop it in preheat oil one by one to form bonda. Fry the bondas until crispy and golden brown. When done remove from oil and transfer it to a plate with paper towel.
  6. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add mustard seeds when it splutters add dried red chilli and curry leaves. Give it a stir and add tomato. Saute it well in oil.
  7. Now add ground coconut mixture along with turmeric powder and salt. Mix well. Now add ½ cup water to it and mix well. Allow it to boil well.
  8. Meanwhile in a bowl add curd, beat it well and add 1 cup water. Mix well and keep it aside. Now put the flame to low and add the buttermilk. Give it a good stir and put off the flame before it boils as it will curdle. Do not it.
  9. Finally add the bondas in the kuzhambu/gravy and mix well. Serve it hot with rice!
