Keerai bonda is not only delicious but also a great way to use leafy greens into your diet. The crispy exterior and soft inside, flavorful interior make it a delightful snack.

It’s a variation of the traditional urad dal (black gram) bonda where chopped spinach or other greens are added to the batter for a flavorful and nutritious twist.
