Not very often you find an Andhra girl making her rice mushy. It did happen yesterday and my rice turned out quite mushy than I could eat. After carefully taking out a layer of the top rice, I was left with some soft rice. Though i don’t prefer,I decided to throw it away. While i was debating to do that, i heard the hungry kids asking for something yummy. In a flash I decided to deep fry my rice just the same way I do the punugulu with the dosa batter. They turned out pretty good.

These are not just tasty but a very fast dish/snack to make provided you have some rice at home. Even brown rice works well with this recipe. Deep fried rice balls can also be called as rice bonda.
