Sabudana Bonda

 This is a recipe from my never ending hunts for "something new" . 
Its summer...meaning...all three meals have to be cooked. No "left overs" as people are all at home and they finish up everything there is  edible at home. No complaints :) May be!!!

Anyway, this Sabudana bonda recipe, is usually deep fried byt as I tend to avoid deep frying things...I used the Appam pan . And I also made my fam favorite Peanut Chutney to go with it
