Bread Bonda | Deep Fried Bread With Potato Filling

Jump to Recipe

Bread Bonda is an excellent snack for kids and adults alike. The good thing about this recipe is that one can reuse stale breads for the outer coating.

This is a very fulfilling and tasty snack that is sure to please everyone. Bread bonda was one of the first snacks that I learnt to make when I was just beginning to cook.

I have to admit that when I made this now, almost 12 yrs later, I realized how sloppy I used to be. Experience truly makes a person perfect. I proved this to myself by making this bread bonda.

I used the classic potato filling to stuff the bread, but you could use your imagination to make any filling that you like. Only thing to make sure is the stuffing is not very soggy. I truly thank all my readers for using my blog as a reference and once again any comments and thoughts from you would be appreciated.

Ingredients to make Bread Bonda - Makes around 12 Bondas

  • Bread slices – 12 (I used wheat bread)
  • Potato – 3 (peeled, boiled and mashed)
  • Onion – 1 (finely chopped)
  • Peas (Optional) – ⅓ cup (cooked or if using frozen thawed)
  • Green chilies (optional) – 2 (finely chopped)
  • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
  • Dhania jeera powder – 1 tsp
  • Garam masala powder – ½ tsp
  • Chili powder – ½ tsp
  • Mustard seed – ½ tsp
  • Urad dal – 1 tsp
  • Asafetida – a pinch
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – 2 teaspoon plus more for deep frying

Procedure to make Bread Bonda –

To make the filling

  • Boil the potatoes, peel it and mash it well. I used the microwave to boil the potato. This ensured that the potato was dry and was not too soggy.
  • In a sauté pan, add 2 tsps of oil and season with mustard, urad dal, green chilies and asafetida. Then add the finely chopped onions along with turmeric powder, chili powder, dhania jeera powder, garam masala and salt.
  • Once the onions are sautéed well, add the peas and let it cook for couple of more mins. Then add the mashed potatoes and sprinkle just enough water to make a dry filling.
  • Keep it aside to cool down for a while.

To make the Bondas

  • Take the bread slices and remove all the four side crust.
Remove the flour side curst of bread slices
  • Sprinkle some water on each slice of bread and press it in between your palms to squeeze out the extra water. Make sure that the bread slice is thoroughly wet, but at the same time not soggy.
Filling the bonda
  • Do the same with all the bread slices. In the mean time, heat oil in a frying pan to deep fry the bondas.
  • Once the oil is hot enough drop 3-4 bondas into the oil and deep fry it until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and serve the bread bonda hot with ketchup or hot sauce.

Notes and observations

  • I used to make this with white bread, but lately I observed that making it with wheat bread yielded crispy bondas and it does not soak too much oil.
  • When making a large number of Bondas for a party or a gathering, you could roll out the bondas ahead of time and then cover it with a wet paper towel or kitchen towel. This way they are ready to fry just before serving.
