INSTANT KADALAI MAAVU BONDA RECIPE | TEA KADAI BONDA | TEA SHOP STYLE BESAN FLOUR BONDA

Kadalai maavu bonda recipe

I love this instant bonda recipe which is fondly called as tea kadai bonda in Tamil nadu that is made of kadalai maavu ( Besan flour). Some people call it as medhu bonda. I wanted to try this tea shop style bonda recipe for long time. Nowadays Raksha asks me to prepare some snacks to munch after coming from school. So I keep searching and thinking about instant snacks recipes. I am trying to make it healthy too by adding vegetables. This besan flour bonda is a very easy and instant bonda recipe.

Usually bondas are made with leftover idli, dosa batter or urad dal, maida. But this version is with besan flour/kadalai maavu. Most of you would have seen these bondas in Tea stalls ( Tamil nadu tea kadai).

 An interesting thing is that it is also called as”South African chilli bites”. Usually I make this kind of bonda with leftover bajji bondabatter by adding onions. It tastes great only when eaten hot hot ! Do try this recipe for your kids after they come from school. They’ll love it for sure ! U can also make it more healthy by adding vegetables and make it like vegetable bonda. Lets see how to make this instant bonda recipe with step by step pictures.
