I like potatoes. Who doesn’t?

I like curry.

I like potatoes with curry sauce.

Funny how I don’t like curry puffs because of the pastry, especially the super yucky and hard sides. Moreover, it’s not easy to find a good curry puff. It’s either too hard, too soft, too dry, too puffy, too wet, too plain or too…

There is this Indian lady that sells deep fried stuffs (traditional Indian snacks) at a junction not too far from my house. She sells this snack, that tastes exactly like a curry puff but without the pastry. Instead, it is wrapped with a thin layer of batter which is then deep fried as well. There’s pieces of onions and even poppy seeds, which might or might not explain my addiction to it.

I know it looks gross, but it is absolutely finger licking-ly delicious. Definitely ideal for those who are going out for a picnic, with those blue and white checkered picnic blanket.

And I have been eating this for lunch for the past four days. It’s cheap, three for only RM1.

I don’t know what is it, any Indian readers that can help me identify this snack? Ex-housemate Sanjev Sunder said he knew what it was, but didn’t know the name.

The stall is just near the vegetarian restaurant at Taman Bukit Melaka, near to the main road.

Updated : It’s called bonda. Thanks, Visithra
