  2. 2
    Let's dive right in: Start by whipping up a thick, smooth batter with besan, ajwain, red chili powder, black pepper, and salt.
  3. 3
    Add water gradually and whisk away until it's lump-free. Now, set that bowl of batter aside for its moment of glory.
  4. 4
    Next, boil some potatoes, peel them, and mash those spuds like your life depends on it. Moving on, heat up your kadai (yes, it's bonda time) with a generous splash of oil.
  5. 5
    Once it's sizzling, toss in jeera and let it sizzle until golden and aromatic. Slide in finely chopped green chilies, then add onion and garlic, stir-frying until they're fragrant and slightly golden.
  6. 6
    Throw in some capsicum, giving it a quick saut before introducing your mashed potatoes to the mix.
  7. 7
    Stir everything together with love, letting it cook for 4-5 minutes.
  8. 8
    Season with a pinch of salt, red chili powder, black pepper powder, and a sprinkle of garam masala for that oomph.
  9. 9
    Once combined, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool – patience is key, my friend.
  10. 10
    Meanwhile, grab those cheese cubes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Heat oil for deep frying because crispy vibes are non-negotiable.
  11. 11
    Now, the fun part! Take a scoop of the aloo mixture, tuck a cheese cube inside, and roll it into a perfect little ball (the stuffing surprise is going to wow everyone).
  12. 12
    Dip the cheesy aloo ball into the besan batter, coating it generously, and gently slide it into the hot oil.
  13. 13
    Fry these bad boys until they're golden and crispy perfection.
  14. 14
    Finally, serve your Cheese Bondas hot with a side of tangy tomato chutney, and watch them disappear in seconds!

FAQs

What exactly is a cheese bonda?

cheese bonda is a popular Indian snack with a cheesy twist! Traditionally, bondas are deep-fried potato balls coated in a gram flour batter. In the cheese version, gooey, melty cheese is either mixed with mashed potatoes or stuffed inside, creating a golden, crispy outer shell and a cheesy surprise inside. It's the ultimate comfort food that's perfect for tea-time or party snacks.

Can I customize the filling in cheese bondas?

Absolutely! Cheese bondas are super versatile. While the classic version features cheese (mozzarella works wonders!) and mashed potatoes, you can jazz it up with finely chopped veggies like bell peppers, sweet corn, or jalapeños for extra crunch. Want a spicy kick? Add green chilies or a dash of chili flakes. You can even sneak in some grated paneer or crumbled feta for an extra layer of flavor.

How do I keep my cheese bondas from bursting during frying?

Ah, the bursting bonda blues! To avoid this, make sure the cheese filling is fully sealed with the potato mixture, leaving no gaps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the bondas evenly. Also, fry them on medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the bondas can crack open. Fry them in batches, and voila—perfect, intact cheese bondas every time!
