Mensinakai Bonda / Mirchi Bonda

This is my dad's favorite snack and when he was visiting us last year i couldnt make it for him. Today is father's day so made his favorite snack. I have tried many times but still the chillies are ended up being too hot to eat. I got an idea to soak it in the sour buttermilk for a whole day to take off the heat. Dipped in the besan flour (gram flour)and deep fried it. Serve it with chutney & it was really yummy. Also made a cake as my son wanted to make one for his dad :). Happy Fathers day to all.
