Indian food

Mysore bonda

Also called: Mysore bonda, Майсурский бонда, Bonda, Bajji

Sour-curd batter with pepper and coconut, dropped into oil in spoonfuls so it puffs into a hollow sphere: crisp shell, cloud inside. Eaten at four with filter coffee.

How it's eaten

Break it open before dipping; the hollow is where the chutney goes.
