Godhuma(Wheat) & Sweet Potato Bonda

We feel like having some crispies for evening snacks when its rainy or cloudy, this happened to us last week...when its was raining out and we were completely blocked at home we really need something to munch,to forget those boring moments i prepared this crispy beauties to munch while watching some tv programmes..This bonda goes from wheat flour, cooked and smashed sweet potatoes, rava, baking soda & sugar...Very easy , simple and yummy crispy bonda suits prefect for evening snacks..Usually my mom prepare this bonda with all purpose flour and over ripen bananas but i want to prepare them somewat healthy and tried out this bonda with wheat flour and some leftover sweet potato chunks instead of bananas...Needless to say that this sweet bonda goes to CFK-Wheat guest hosted by Sireesha, event by Sharmi and to Sunday Snacks-Festive Snacks guest hosted by Indrani of Appyayan..



1cup Wheat flour
1/2cup Sweet potatoes (cooked and smashed)
1/4cup Sugar
2tbsp Roasted rava
1/2tsp Cardamom powder
1/2tsp Baking soda
Pinch Salt
Oil for deepfrying

In a large bowl, add the wheat flour, smashed sweet potatoes or either u can use sweet potato(cooked) puree, i prefer chunky sweet potatoes in my bondas so i smashed the cooked sweet potatoes with a fork, add the sugar, roasted rava, cardamom powder, baking soda, salt to the flour, add enough water to make out a thick and sticking dough..meanwhile heat the oil for deepfrying, once the oil is hot..make small balls from the dough or with a spoon, drop gently the balls and fry until they turns golden brown..

Serve hot or warm!
