Sweet bonda is an easy South Indian evening snack that can be prepared in 10 minutes. Sweet bonda is either made of maida or whole wheat flour. In tea shops, they use maida, and if we want to make it healthy, then whole wheat flour can be used.
This bonda comprises the main ingredients of maida, banana, jaggery, and cardamom powder. Grind the banana and combine the other ingredients along with the banana and bring it to idli batter consistency. Either water or milk can be added to obtain the proper consistency.
Then a tablespoon of batter is poured into the hot oil and deep-fried on all sides until it turns golden brown. This sweet bonda can be served hot or cold. Either way, it tastes awesome. Also, I have added palm sugar instead of jaggery. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
