challa punugulu | moong dal dahi bonda recipe or punukulu | perugu punugulu with detailed photo and video recipe – It is a deep fried popular street food of andhra and is made of mung dal . I have already shared a pesara pungulu recipe here and tips .

Dahi bonda or challa pungulu or perugu pesara punugulu are deep fried mung dal fritters they are soaked in seasoned yogurt like dahi vada.
Todays perugu punukulu are a good and easy substitute to perugu garelu. They are good and mouth melting. These fritters get soaked up well and turn delicious and mouth melting.

Its my favourite recipe , it tastes so good. Normally my mom used to prepare this snack . While preparing pesara punugulu at same time we can prepare these dahi punugulu also. It is very easy and tasty snack.
