Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

When I took stock of the published recipes, I found that I have missed to publish the easy Bajji Recipe. So thought of publishing it today as a first thing. Bajji is a very simple and easy to do snack dish for a nice evening. Mostly for treating our guests, we plan to make bajji. But now a days, I have seen many women using the ready made bajji mix but I always feel our own mix is better than ready mix. We can make bajji using many vegetables. Conventionally Bajji milagai, raw banana, potato are frequently used. I personally like Mirchi Bajji, but for kids, it would be more spicy. If we have unexpected guests, raw banana saves our life. Vazhakkai Bajji (Raw Banana (Plaintain) Bajji) is one of the traditional and yummy snack. Now lets see the recipe...

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Gram Flour (Besan / Chickpea Flour)
  • ½ Cup Rice Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Asafoetida (Asafetida / Hing)
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
  • 1 Raw Banana
  • a Pinch Baking Soda
  • Salt As Needed
  • 1 Cup Oil For Deep Frying

Instructions 

  • Take the flours and add red chilli powder, salt, soda salt and hing. Mix all the flours nicely
  • Add water slowly and mix the batter well. The consistency of the batter should be like a dosa batter. If should not be so thick as well as so thin. Wash and Peel the skin of raw banana.
  • Make slightly thicker slices vertically and keep it ready. We can also take a potato, peel the skin and make circular pieces and use it for bajji. Heat oil in a pan, when the oil is getting ready, add 5-6 pieces of raw banana slices to the bajji batter.When the oil is hot enough, dip and coat the raw banana slices nicely and gently drop in oil
  • Fry the bajji on both the sides till they are cooked completely in medium flame and remove the bajjis from flame using a spatula and place it in a plate having a paper towel to drain the excess oil
  • The yummy and crispy bajjis are ready to serve with sauce or any chutneys. 

Notes

  1. Baking Soda is optional. We can exclude it.
  2. The bajji batter should be like dosa batter consistency. It should not be too watery or too thick.
  3. Too thin batter will not coat the plantain properly. Too thick batter has very thick outer cover. So batter Consistency should be very important for bajji
  4. Always deep fry the bajji in low to medium flame. If the flame is too high, the bajji will become darker but will not be cooked inside
