Bonda comes in two major varieties: Sweet and Spicy. Keralites prefer the sweet one and follow a completely different recipe than the majority of Indians. The spicy version is called as '''Batata vada''' in [[Maharashtra]]. ==Preparation== The process of making spicy bonda involves deep-frying [[potato]] (or other vegetables) filling dipped in [[gram flour]] batter. <br /><br /> Instead of using potatoes as a main ingredient in bonda, some regional variants can be found in Kerala in the form of tapioca (''Tapioca Bonda''), sweet potato with onion, hardboiled egg with masala (''Mutta Bonda''), Minced meat etc. ==External links== * [http://www.recipedelights.com/recipes/appetizers/aloobonda.htm Recipe: Aloo Bonda] * [http://www.happyonion.com/showrecipe.php?recipeid=173 Recipe: Malabar Egg Bonda (Mutta Bonda)] [[Category:Indian fast food]] [[Category:Karnataka cuisine]] [[Category:Tamil cuisine]] [[Category:Snack foods]] [[Category:Potato dishes]] [[Category:Andhra cuisine]] [[es:Bonda]]
