How to make Cheese Stuffed Aloo Bonda Recipe
To begin making the Cheese Stuffed Aloo Bonda Recipe, combine all batter ingredients in a wide mouth bowl. Add a little water at a time to make batter thick enough to thickly coat back of a spoon. Make sure to whisk the batter well until light and fluffy. Keep aside.
Heat oil in a frying pan, add mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Stir in the onions and sauté for a couple of minutes till onions are soft and light golden in colour.
Add ginger, green chillies, asafoetida, turmeric and salt and sauté for a few more minutes.
Finally stir in the mashed potatoes and sauté for a couple of minutes.
Allow the potato mixture to cool down, stir in the coriander leaves divide it into 8 portions. While shaping, flatten the potatoes in the palm of your hand , place a piece of the Mozzarella cheese in the center and cover it to make a ball. Shape the bonda into round balls and keep aside.
Preheat a kuzhi paniyaram pan. Add a few drops of oil into each cavity.
Dip and coat each of the potato cheese oats balls in the gram flour batter and gradually let it into the cavity. Cover the pan and allow the bonda to steam. Once you notice the batter is cooked, uncover the pan and cook it in the open on all sides by flipping and turning.
Once the Cheese Stuffed Aloo Bonda gets a golden color, remove from the pan and proceed the similar way with the remaining batter.
