Instructions:

Combine the mashed potatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, amchur powder, cumin seeds, coriander powder, ginger-garlic paste, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously to form a thick, pliable dough. The consistency should be similar to that of a thick batter.
3.
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the dough is used up.
4.
Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to low.

Take a ball of dough and roll it in a mixture of besan and rice flour. Ensure the ball is completely coated.

Drop the coated ball into the hot oil and fry until it turns golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan and ensure the bondas are fried evenly.

Once fried, remove the bondas from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
