Urad dal Egg Bonda, a delicious and spongy snack made with urad dal batter and eggs. It's such an easy recipe and makes an instant evening snack. Tastes great with a cup of tea/ coffee.
One day, when talking to Amma over the phone, she reminded me about this recipe. And it's been a while since i had made this bonda so within a few days i made this bonda for our evening tea.
Adding egg into urad dal batter yields a lot of bondas. As the batter puffs up well in the hot oil because of eggs so adding a small size batter would give a big size bonda. Also don't tempt to add more eggs in this recipe, it would make it so eggy and doesn't taste good.
Sometimes when i grind the idli/dosa batter, i soak a little extra urad dal, grind it and store it separately in the refrigerator. It comes handy when i want to make vadai or this bonda. Last time when i made this, the climate here in Bangalore was awesome. It was raining continuously and i could hardly see anything from the window.
Ok, now let's check out on how to make these delicious egg bonda.

Ingredients
Whole Urad Dal(without skin) - 1/4 cup
Country Egg - 1/2 of one beaten egg
Onion - 1/2 of medium size one
Crushed Peppers - 1/2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Curry leaves - few
Oil - for frying
Soak the urad dal for 1 hr and grind into smooth paste in a mixie(just like vada batter). Dont add too much add, just add enough to make smooth batter.
Beat the egg slightly and add it into urad dal , mix well and then add onions, peppers , salt and curry leaves and mix well.
Heat the oil for frying . Now take water in a bowl, dip your hand in water and then take small portion of batter in your hand and drop it in oil.
Repeat the same with the remaining batter. Dont over crowd the pan. I add 5 bondas at a time,depends of the pan size, you can add more or less.
After one or two mins, it will float on the oil, at that time, flip the bonda on other side to cook. Remove from the oil when both sides are turn golden brown and put it on tissue paper.
Tasty & crispy bonda is ready. It tastes good as it is, or you can serve it with any of your favorite chutneys.

- The batter should be thick, dont add too much water for grinding, otherwise, after adding egg, it will become too runny.
- If you have access to country egg then use that for this recipe.
