Egg bonda’s are famous in the cinema theaters where we born and brought up. During my childhood days watching movies in theaters was the only media entertainment we (me n my cousins) had. Only Moms organize these sort of outing so before entering and leaving the theater they used to count us not to miss anyone, funny right , yup wherever we go we show our mass such a big family is ours. During interval we get one big hot egg bonda for each to bite. I remember that each bonda had one full egg in it, tastes heaven. The healthy competition begins there, those who keep at least a bit of bonda after the movie climax is the winner, such sweet memories and badly missing all those now 🙁 . Now coming to today’s recipe this is not that deep fried bonda, same pattern but baked version.
Ingredients
Gram/Besan Flour – 3/4th Cup (or replace with All purpose Flour/Maida)
Corn Meal – 3/4th Cup (or replace with Sooji/Rava/Besan flour)
Corn Meal – 3/4th Cup (or replace with Sooji/Rava/Besan flour)
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Yogurt – 1/2 Cup (If using butter milk no need to add water)
Salt and Water – As needed
Oil/Butter – 2-3 Tbsp
Eggs – 3 Numbers
Curry Leaves and Cilantro – Few
Onion – 1 Number
Capsicum/Bell pepper – 1/4 Cup (or green chilis)
Red Chili powder – 1tsp
Method
- Boil the eggs and cut in to halves.
- Add 1/2 cup of warm water to rava/corn meal and lets sit for 5 mins.
- Mix yogurt, oil, soda, red chili powder, salt whisk well, slowly incorporate flour to this.
- If needed add some water to it for dropping consistency as shown in picture.
- Finally fold the chopped onion, capsicum, curry and coriander leaves.
- Fill the muffin pan/baking foil cups with half of the batter then place the egg as shown in the picture.
- Again drop in the batter to overcoat egg.
- Bake in 400°F for 15 mins or toothpick inserted at the sides(apart from egg) comes out clean.
- Delicious oil-less soft and spicy muffins are ready.
- Serve hot with tea/coffee.
Notes:
- Add spices according to your taste.
- Bit crunchy outer covering but inner dough is really soft and delicious.
- Can add veggies instead of egg.
- I have used baking cups and silicone cups for baking today.
