Mysore Bonda (மைசூர் போண்டா)

Mysore Bonda is a very famous South Indian snack or tiffin which tastes best when served hot with coconut chutney. Every time I hear or see Mysore Bonda, I remember a joke – “One person ordered Aloo Paratha and he checked if there is aloo inside it and then he orders Mysore Bonda and claims that the waiter has cheated him as there is no Mysore in it”.. I know it is a silly joke… But I always remember this joke
