Need : Sooji dough, coconut filling , cooking oil for deep frying.
How to : Make small balls out of the dough, using water to wet fingers so it doesn't stick, and fill them with the coconut filling ( just like stuffing for parathas) to make the mondas.
Heat enough oil in a kadhai and deep fry the mondas till golden brown.
That looks lovely:) Do you also make ones with spicy filling. An Oriya friend of mine used to bring something spicy called monda, and I am hoping to find the recipe someday!
ReplyDeleteHi Sunshinemom!
ReplyDeleteAm glad you like it. Actually as far as I know monda is something that has a stuffing, a covering made if any lentil(like urad dal,etc) and deep fried or steamed.And the word means roundish shape too. If it has a sweet stuffing it is called Pitha .. like Monda Pitha ... and if salty / spicy stuffing then just mondas.
Of course any Oriya will know better than my half baked knowledge :p
Will try to get hold of the recipe of spicy mondas for you. :-)
