Hello,
I am a big fan of bonda soup. Its a very lite dish on a rainy day. The mild lentil soup and soft bonda make the dish a complete delicacy especially on a rainy day. Let me share with you the recipe. Its a dish available in many restaurants in Karnataka. Its a coastal Karnataka - Udupi speciality. I have dedicated this dish to many of my fb friends who are interested in learning Karnataka cuisine.
Bonda Soup
Ingredients
Urad dal - 1 cup
green chilly - 2
ginger - 1 small piece
curry leaves - a few
Sunflower oil - for frying
For the soup
Tuvar dal/moong dal - 1/2 cup
turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
ginger - a small piece
jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
coriander powder - 1/4 tsp
coriander leaves - 1/4 tsp
lemon juice - 1 tsp
Method of Preparation
* Wash and soak urad dal for 2 hours. Drain water add green chillies, ginger, curry leaves and urad dal in a mixer. Grind to a fine smooth paste, if necessary add a little water. In a kadai heat sunflower oil, use a small spoon or use your hand to make small bondas, deep fry crispy golden brown. Use a fork to make small holes in the bondas, it will help bonda absorb soup better.
(A word of caution here, if any of the bondas burst just use a lid to close the kadai and make sure you are safe)
* Wash and pressure cook tuvar dal/moong dal adding 4 to 5 cups of water. Add turmeric, jeera powder, coriander powder, ginger julienne and cook for 2 whistles. Off the stove use a hand blender to finely blend the dal with other spices. Add lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves.
To Serve bonda soup
* In a deep bowl place four bondas and pour hot soup on top of it. Serve hot. It can be served as a tiffin on a cold rainy day.
