Mysore Bajji / Mysore Bonda Or Mangalore Bajji

I would love to say Mysore is famous for quite a few dishes which are made all over the world and also in different states of India. I am very proud to say that i am a mysore girl and also my husband too. There are lots of dishes which use the name mysore in them like mysore masala dosa, mysore pak, mysore bonda etc., It really makes happy to see some other blogs/ websites mention these dishes. This bonda/bajji made in the road side cart and restaurant we used to have it. I remember this fondly from my school and college days. Simple to make... I love to make this and share this recipe with everyone...Nice to have it in chilli weather for hot fried snacks with some hot chutney. It is also known as Mangalore bajji (Goli bajji)
