Hello

Thank you for the prompt response. There is no stuffing. It looks just like the potato bonda just sweet.

It is just a maida + sugar dough, deep fried. Similar to sweet diamond cut biscuits.

 

Re: Sweet Bonda (unsure of name)

Hi.I am not too sure about the sweet bonda you are describing.However, in Maharashtra we have something similar called umbar which is made using wheat flour,jaggery and bananas and deep fried like a bonda.It tastes amazing.It is brown in colour and has an uneven texture unlike a regular bonda.Is this the one you are looking for?

Are you talking abbout sugiyan. It is a sweet that is regional. A chana dal, jaggery,coconut mix ball dipped in a batter and fried.


I am sure there is a recipe for the same in chitvish forum
