It felt great this weekend with the temperatures in the 80s and the kids had a blast outside. For this month Dish-it-out the ingredients are carrots and paneer and I decided to make these tasty carrot and paneer bondas. I also used the kuzhi paniyaram pan (Aebleskiver pan) instead of deep frying to make it healthy. Paneer added a nice creaminess and my kids loved it. These are easy to make and best when warm. Off to the recipe.
Other bondas blogged include broccoli and tofu bonda, spinach-potato bonda and the deep fried bonda.
Tasty filling.
