Urulaikilangu bonda recipe with step by step pictures

Are you a Potato lover like me? . This urulaikilangu bonda is a yummy treat for Potato lovers. I use Potatoes in most of my recipes. Whatever the recipe, is there any possibility then i used to add potatoes in it. My daughters do like it very much. This bonda is a easy evening time snack that you can make it within 5 - 10 mins, if the Potato stuffing is made earlier. I usually make the stuffing before and make bondas at the tea - time. It tastes yummy and fulfills the tastebuds.

According to me, the Potato stuffing can be used in many recipes like, it is used as a stuffing for south-indian masala dosa, or it is served as podimas ( sidedish for rice), or adding little water and gram flour make it as sidedish for poori. I have already posted the recipes. Check out the recipes using the links given below.
