this is one such recipe which i prepare it quite frequently, but it took ages for me to include in my blog. i have already shared variant of this recipe which is also popularly known veg bondo or mixed vegetable bonda recipe. however in this batata vada recipe i have used mashed potato which is then coated with besan and corn flour batter and then deep fried in a medium to high flame. i even serve this aloo bonda snack as a sandwich between two left over sandwich bread slices to my husband and he simply loves it. i even some time extend this recipe by adding some boiled peas with mashed potatoes and it tastes amazing.

Hi, if I choose to use rice flour instead of corn flour, what measure of rice flour should I use? Same as corn flour in the recipe?
a tsp of corn flour is enough
Can we add rice flour in substitute to corn flour? Also is the oil added to besan batter hot oil or the normal one?
Yeah you can use rice flour instead of corn flour… I have added normal temperature oil.. however you can pour hot oil for more crispy bonda.
Does 6 servings mean 6 qty of bondas? 3 potatoes seems too much for just 6 qty.
its 6 bondas..
