Firstly, in a bowl, take 2 cups of idli or dosa batter. Make sure to use leftover batter, as it's more sour.

Add ½ cup maida, 2 tbsp rice flour and ½ tsp salt. Mix well. Add more maida to adjust the consistency.

Also, add ½ onion, a few curry leaves, 2 chilli, 2 tbsp carrot, 2 tbsp coriander, 1 inch ginger, 1 tsp cumin, a pinch of hing and a pinch of baking soda.

Mix well, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.

Wet your hands with water, and pinch a ball-sized dough.

Drop in hot oil, keeping the flame on medium.

Stir occasionally, until the bonda turns golden brown and crisp.

Drain off to remove excess oil.
