Bonda / Urulakkizhangu Bonda / Aloo Bonda !

Bonda was my childhood favourite.We had a small shop at our place where they had hot bondas with spicy potato masala inside.It was divine and my Daddy used to buy me those.Bonda is a nostalgia,to remember and cherish.Here I am presenting you bonda with a spicy potato filling.The masala definitely is very homely which I have spiced up to suit our taste.
