## Notes

* firstly, blend to thick batter else the bonda will not turn crisp and will be difficult to drop in oil.

* also, blend in grinder for the very smooth and fluffy batter.

* additionally, add salt just before frying as it releases water and makes the batter runny.

* finally, **bonda** or **urad dal vada recipe** tastes great when served hot and crispy.
