Rava bonda is a traditional snack originating from Karnataka. It's usually prepared with a combination of semolina, sour yogurt, hot chili peppers, asafoetida, ginger, cashews, coriander, oil, and salt. Of course, there are many variations on the snack so the ingredients may vary from one place to another.

Once prepared, the batter is shaped into small balls which are fried in oil until golden brown and crisp. Rava bonda is typically drained on kitchen paper and then served as a tasty snack that's often accompanied by chutneys.
