Cabbage bonda is a yummy tea-time snack recipe. It is so easy and can be made in a short time. So it is the perfect snack to prepare for sudden guest visits.
The base ingredient to make this snack is gram flour (besan/kadalai maavu). We can make a variety of bondas with the besan/gram flour as a base. This cabbage bonda reminds me of my school days. There was a tea stall outside my school. While crossing that shop in the evening, the aroma of the bondas from that shop would make us salivate, especially at that hungry time—no words can explain that feeling. While looking at the ingredient list, it may seem difficult, but this bonda is so easy to make and delicious.
