Wheat bonda/ Wheat punugulu/ Godhumai pindi punugulu is an instant and easy to make scrumptious golden color deep fried fritter prepared with wheat flour/ Godhuma maavu/ pindi , curd and rice flour.
Traditionally punugulu/ bonda is prepared with maida, but to keep it little healthy I made it with wheat flour and it tasted truly yummmmm. Also the speciality of this bonda/ punugulu is that it is prepared with sour curd which gives a sour taste also very good texture to it, if you don’t have sour curd you could use regular curd as well. Before the winter could fully fade away I thought to post this deep fried snack recipe, hope you guys like it.

- The batter should be thick like the one shown in the collage or else the batter will be tough to handle to make bonda and also it will absorb too much oil. If the batter gets watery add little ore wheat flour/ godhuma maavu to get right consistency.
