Today let us see how to make Papad Bonda. This is an easy to make snack item. Most people usually have papad in their homes, so they can try this one without any issues. Some people likes to fry the papads in oil, others like to roast it directly which is oil free. In today's recipe, we will make a snacks item out of papad.

Ingredients:
Potatoes                 3 no.s
Green chilly          3 (chopped well)
Onion                    2 (chopped well)
Ginger                   A small piece
Salt                        As needed
Turmeric powder   ''
Coconut oil            ''

Method of preparation:
Keep the soft papad (typically called Kerala papad) socked in water for  2 minutes. This will make the papad very soft. Take it out, and fill it with the masala, fold it properly and deep fry it in oil.

Filling preparation (masala)
We can prepare the masala to be filled within the papd using veg or non-veg items. Here I am going to use potatoes to prepare the veg filling.

1) Boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker.
2) Take a pan, add some coconut oil. Fry the onions in the coconut oil until they turn transparent and soft. Add ginger and turmeric powder to this.
3) Peel the potatoes and smash them well. Add the smashed potatoes into the above mixture.

Fill this mixture into the papad and fold the sides together to make it into a cone shape. Deep fry it. The masala papad is ready !!
