Making bondas:

1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Dip the bread in water and take it away immediately.
3. Place the bread in your palms and squeeze away the water.
4. Make a small lemon sized ball from the curry and put it in middle of the bread and close it with the edges. See that bread is nicely sealed around aloo so that it doesn't come out while frying.

Deep Frying can retain excess oil, which may be harmful to some people. Always strain the oil with the help of a perforated ladle.
