Tea Kadai Onion Bonda

Tea Kadai onion bonda lately reminds me of our vacation to India

and trip to Kutralam Gundar dam. It was almost monsoon time and most of the dams were closed for the heavy waterfall. My SIL's brother suggested this dam which had a private space to enjoy the waterfall. The ride to the spot and the waterfall was an amazing and thrilling experience. We were so hungry by the time we returned down or maybe the smell of the fresh onion bonda and egg omelets made us hungry. It was prepared hot and fresh as we ordered so I got a chance to take a look at the way they prepared from the scratch each time. With all the wetness, having hot onion bonda and tea is an overwhelming experience.
