Ullunthu, milagu,thenkai bonda (Urad dhal, coconut & pepper ball snack)

Ullunthu milagu bonda (Urad dhal, coconut & pepper ball snack) - preparation time 20 to 25 mins
I was afraid to try this ulundhu bonda for several years. Last week when i went to relatives home they made this bonda. I used to wonder home the same urad dhal used to taste that much different when made as vadai or bonda. Really our people are genius buy adding different ingredients they changed the taste entirely. Try it out.

Ingredients:-
Urad Dhal - 1 cup (cleaned and soaked for 30 mins. When dhal is white in colour it is new and fresh. The bonda will be very soft, crispy and tasty)
Coconut - chopped into small squares 2 tbsp
Pepper - 10 to 15

Preparation Method:- 
Stain the water from urad dhal fully and put in a mixer. Add salt, little(1 tbsp or 2 tbsp) water to urad dhal and grind to fine paste. Don't add more water then it will be difficult to do round bonda.
Put the batter in a bowl and chopped coconut, pepper and mix well.

Make small ball from the batter. 
Heat the oil and drop the ball shaped bonda very slowly (if you drop fast the oil will split out so be very careful).

After few mins roll the bonda evenly so all the sides will become golden brown in color.

Cook in medium or low flame then only the batter inside will be cooked well.

The outer portion will be crisp inside will be soft.
Remove and place this in tissue to remove excess oil. When you take a bite of bonda the coconut piece and pepper will give a unique taste.

Forgot to tell actually when  i tried first time it came out well and my husband told that it was really good. But mom's is the best as usual. Take this with coconut chutney
