Dhonepata is the Bengali name of coriander  leaves or cilantro .Dhone pata or Coriander leaves are very common in most of the dishes  for its nice aroma. Today I  am going to share 'Dhone patar bora' or Coriander  or Cilantro fritters.


Bora (Bengali version of  fritter)  is a deep fried dumplings which can be made with your choice of vegetables or with non veg stuff and made with a spiced chickpea flour(besan)  or rice flour batter. You can serve it as evening  snacks with  tea or coffee or can serve as a side dish of main course  like dal chawal or rice.
