"Jinx"ed batter "Charm"ed bonda

a film by Priya Varadan Som

[The opening scene-]

finds you in a fix, with a packet of Dosa mix / Idli mix, purchased from the super market, and despite a hard fight to get some decent dosas/idlis prepared,

1) The dosa batter just sticks to your dosa tava with an infinite affinity.
2) Even the water/oil does not come to your help in pulling your favorite dosa from the tava.

[Cut to-]

you intently pondering on the fate of the batter:"maar diya jaye ya chhor diya jaaye" kind, thinking whether to dump the batter and look to your recipe book for making some snappy item (bomb!)
But finally like the real Bollywood hero kind, you give a hard look at the batter (and finding your hard earned money in fluid form) decide to use it in some other way(the classic "punar janam" act!)

[So we hire some "extras" for the climactic fight scene!]

Extras:

* Refined oil - enough for doing some deep frying
* 2 Chopped green chilles
* 2 Chopped onions
* Curry leaves
* Coriander (Optional)
* Salt - to taste

and of course the "jinxed" Dosa batter!

[Cut to climax:]

With all the divine powers vested in you (remember you are a Bollywood hero!) you

1. Mix all the ingredients, except the oil, in a bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan.
3. Add the mixture prepared in step 1, as small balls in to the pan.
4. Fry till golden brown.

all at once and pop them hot with some chutney/sauce straight into your mouth with rajnikant's dexterity!
Its time to pack up!
