2 big Onions
2 green chillies/red dry chilli(as per required)
5-6 lobes of garlic
salt to tasteM
Mustard oil to fry
Soak the postaka, along with garlic for nearly 15-20 minutes.Now put the saoked poostaka,green chillies,garlic and salt to taste in the grinder and grind it. But note that it should not be grinded very very smoothly,after grinding if u touch it should be felt that some portion of postoka is not grinded fully.Now chop the onions and put it into that paste and mix it.
Now take a pan or tawa, put slight oil and let the tawa be hot. Now make small balls(do not make very smooth balls, just put ur hand inside the postook bowl and bring up a small fingerful ball) and put in on tawa. Let those badas get roasted and fried till u feel it can be made upside down. once u do try to put mustard oil number of times while u go on making it upside down, till it becomes very red and marron.
When bada becomes very red and dark marron take it out and serve hot with Pakhala Bhata.
Note: The mustard oil gives it flavour as and when u keep adding it and it gets roasted on the tawa. And the garlic shud be adequate so that after u grind the smell of poostak and garlic shud give u a nice flavour to smell.
