Bread Aloo Bonda/Fritters

On  rainy monsoon evenings as kids while my sister , brother and myself would be playing out in the streets jumping in puddles of water , mom would be busy in the kitchen making these yummy Bread Aloo bondas. After calling us multiple times to get home  and warning us not to spoil our clothes with mud and rainy water , the only thing which would make us come home was these crispy yummy fritters. I still enjoy these with a cup of hot Masala Chai. This is moms recipe and she made this while I am in India .

  • Wait for few mins for the potato mixture to cool down to room temperature. Take a bread slice and sprinkle some water so the bread becomes lightly soft.
  • Take the slice into the palm of your hand and squeeze out any excess water  and place a small ball of the potato mixture in the middle.
  • Now  close the potato mixture with the bread  until the edges are completely sealed . Make sure the potato mixture does not come out ,otherwise while frying the whole thing will come apart. 
  • Take some oil in a frying pan & heat it on a medium flame. Slowly drop these bread bondas  2 at a time and deep fry them until golden brown. 
  • Serve them piping hot with some tomato ketchup.
