While finalizing the menu list for a family function, the cook suggested Tomato Bonda as one of the dishes. Though we agreed, we were apprehensive till the day we tasted the Bonda, imagining it to turn out soggy. To our delight, the Tomato Bonda was crisp and as we sank our teeth into it, we could taste the ripe tomatoes. A twist to the same Bonda derived Tomato Palak Bonda!
