POTATO BONDA

This is my husbands favourite dish. But i wont make often because it is deep fried. He was pulling my leg asking "Do you forgot to make bondas". I thought let me make for him since the climate is also cool and rainy in Chennai. My mom in law's friends also came unexpectedly they also liked this.
