My love for street food, makes me want to try almost every high calorie snack / appetizer on my appe pan. So here I am yet again, sharing how to make Batata Vada / Aloo bonda in an appe pan. Since it has a batter coating, most people wonder how can you make it in an appe pan. So here is my step by step recipe for the famous Batata Vada / Aloo bonda.
