Here's how to make delicious crispy South Indian Mysore Bonda at home in just 9 easy steps.

Mix dry ingredients, in a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking soda, cumin seeds, and salt.

Add aromatics, incorporate finely chopped green chilies, grated ginger, and chopped coriander leaves into the dry mixture.

Incorporate yogurt, add yogurt to the mixture and stir to form a thick batter.

Adjust consistency, if the batter is too thick, gradually add water to achieve a dropping consistency. the batter should be thick yet smooth.

Rest the batter, allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes. this resting period helps in achieving a softer texture for the bondas.

Heat oil, in a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium flame. to check if the oil is ready, drop a small portion of the batter into the oil, it should sizzle and rise to the surface promptly.

Shape and fry, using wet hands or a spoon, scoop small portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook until golden, fry the bondas until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides. use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve, garnish and serve the mysore bondas hot with coconut chutney or sambar for a delightful snack experience.
