Rava Bonda Recipe | Crispy Sooji Bonda | Semolina Bonda Fritters with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Deep-fried fritters or pakoda recipes are an integral part of Indian cuisine. Even though it is mainly served as a simple snack with a cup of tea or coffee, but can also be served for various other reasons. One such versatile snack meal is bonda snack which is typically prepared with urad dal, but can also be prepared with rava too.

As I was explaining earlier, bonda recipes are mainly made with soaked urad dal batter. However, some may have allergies or may get indigestion with urad dal and may not prefer any recipes from it. I personally, love deep-fried snacks from urad dal. But after having 2 or 3 bonda’s I feel bloated because of the urad dal. Hence I generally avoid it and always look for alternatives. One of my favourite bonda alternatives is Crispy Sooji Bonda. As matter of fact, I personally feel Sooji Bonda is much tastier compared to any other bonda recipe. Basically, it is a combination of sweet and spicy in taste due to semolina and the herbs used in this recipe. Do try this and let me know your honest opinion about it.

Furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions, and variants to the Crispy Sooji Bonda recipe. Firstly, I would heavily recommend using medium coarse sooji or popularly known as Bombay rava for this recipe. Any other sooji variants may not be suitable as they may not get the same texture and crispiness. Secondly, I would strongly recommend using sour curd with rava for this recipe. Sour curd or yoghurt would help to get the authentic bonda shape for this snack. Lastly, deep fry these fritters in small batches and avoid overcrowding the deep frying pan. Also, compared to the traditional bonda’s, these rava based bonda should hold their shape and crispiness for a longer time.
