Zucchini Bajji is one of the perfect evening snack. Bajji is an easy Indian evening snack. Most of us just take a potato or raw banana or onion and make bajji out of it. With many veggies, we can try making bajji. My MIL used to make Brinjal Bajji. I happen to taste Zucchini (சீமை சுரைக்காய்) bajji in my neighbor's home. It was so tasty, so next day, I tried Zucchini bajji in my kitchen and it turned out awesome. Try this delicious Zucchini Bajji (Zucchini Fritters) for an evening snack and I bet, you will also love it.
Few variations in making of the Zucchini Bajji
- The readymade Bajji mix is very popular and comes very handy. You can very much use the same to make Zucchini Bajji (or any other Bajji). I personally like to make the fresh mix/batter while making Bajji.
- You might wonder why the bajji which we get in the Restaurants / tea shops are very fluffy while the one we make in home is no coming out fluffy. Well, the ingredient here is baking soda. I don't recommend adding baking soda, but it's okay to add a pinch of it while making bajji to get the fluffy an soft texture
- Also, I noticed some adding a teaspoon of ghee in the mixture for the extra flavor. I haven't used it personally. But you can try and let me know your views.
- You can cut this lengthwise and make the bajji like Vazahakkai Bajji (Raw Banana Bajji)
- Raw Banana Bajji is very popular.. however you can use the vegetable of your choice. You can refer the recipes below for other Bajji varieties
