Mutta Bonda
Boiled eggs in a gram-flour cloak, tea stall favourite. Hot oil, thick batter, monsoon weather optional — India's favourite snack format. Serve with mint or tamarind chutney and masala chai.
Ingredients
- Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
- Saltto taste
- Onion2, finely sliced
- Green Chili2
- Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
- Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
- Asafoetidaa pinch
- Eggs4
- Gram Flour1 cup
- Ajwain1/2 tsp
- Rice Flour2 tbsp
Instructions
- 1
Mix the eggs into a seasoned batter with the gram flour, resting it ten minutes so the flours hydrate.
- 2
Heat oil for deep-frying to 175C — a crumb of batter should rise immediately, fizzing, without darkening fast.
- 3
Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.
- 4
Let them take their colour slowly; deep gold means cooked centres and shattering crust.
- 5
Eat immediately — a fritter's glory is measured in minutes.
Chef's tip
Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
