Its really cold here in Chennai right now.I go to pick my daughter and feel like having my tea usually make some dosa or bread toasts for the hungry kid I'm surprised to see how she digs in when she gets back at times.While everyone is posting baking recipes for the season this might seem out of place.My laptop is broken and sicne my parents were visiting i had truck loads of stuff to get over with and didn't make sense making or baking anymore with us leaving shortly for our Xmas break.Also after a while today my keyboard is giving me an easy day to type else with my hero banging it up i had a tough time typing my posts i almost lost interest in writing anything.

Preparation Time : 20 minutes
Makes 6 bonda/bhaji

You need

Rajma/ red kidney beans half a cup soaked for 10-12 hours or more
Onion 1 small finely chopped
Coriander leaves a few sprigs chopped finely
Crushed ginger 1 tsp
Crushed garlic 1 tsp
Rawa/semolina 2 tsps
Salt to taste
Garam masala powder 1 tsp
Besan/gram flour 5 tablespoons
Red chilli powder 1/2 tsp

Oil to deep fry

• Soak the rajma beans overnight(i did the previous day afternoon itself) and pressure cook with very little water until soft,once cooled run it in the blender until roughly broken.(not a smooth paste)
• To this add the rest of the ingredients all but besan.
• Make small balls out of this and leave to rest.
• Now heat oil in a pan to deep fry.
• IN a small bowl, add the besan and enough water to make a thick batter with salt and red chilli powder mixed to it.
• Coat each of the rajma balls in the besan batter and drop them into hot oil, deep fry until golden brown.
• Drain them onto kitchen towels.

Serve hot and yummy rajma bhaji/vada with tomato sauce and a hot cup of tea!!
