Traditionally
millets have been used for both staple and snacks. Only recently the trend has
changed. Chola Bonda is one such old millet recipe which had been prepared at
villages for a long time. This is grandmother’s recipe who used to prepare this
for us whenever I went to her house during my childhood.

Procedure:
1.
Wash and soak the jowar and rice together for 5 -6 hours. Wash and soak the
urad for 2 hours.
2.
Grind the jowar and rice mixture into fine and thick paste using the mixer or
grinder with little water.
3.
We cannot grind it into very thick paste like chapathi dough. So spread the
paste on the kitchen cloth and remove the excess water from it. Now it becomes
thick dough like chapathi dough.
4.
Meanwhile, grind the urad dal into thick
batter with little water, like urad dal vada consistency.
5.
Now mix the urad dal batter and jowar dough with salt. Mix them well. Now you
can get bonda batter consistency. [now the batter should fall like a ball]
6.
Then add the cumin seeds, chopped onion, chopped green chillies, chopped curry
leaves and chopped coriander leaves. Mix them well and bonda batter is ready.
7.
Heat the oil in a pan, wet the hands with water and drop gooseberry size balls into the hot oil. [ put
pinch of the batter into oil, it should come up immediately if the oil
temperature is correct]
8.
Fry them well on all sides till they become golden color and crisp.
9.
Take it out from the oil and drain it completely. Keep it on the kitchen tissue
to absorb the excess oil.
Healthy and yummy evening tea time snack is
ready to serve. Serve it with nattu sakarai is the best combo for this bonda.

We make urad daal or moon daal vadas like these... Looks similar, but quite healthy with addition of jowar... Nice one
