Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

Bondas are a brilliant South Indian snack, a bit like pakoras, but with a spiced mashed potato filling. They’re incredibly moreish and perfect to serve before a bigger meal, or with drinks. If you fry them ahead of time, they can be warmed through in the oven before serving, but they’re best eaten straight out of the pan.
