Directions

• In a bowl combine all the ingredients (except oil) to make a thick batter(not too thick or thin) without any lumps. Cover the batter with a lid & let it rest for an hour.

• After one hour; heat oil in a sauce pan/kadai on a medium flame & once oil is hot enough, place about 1-2 tablespoons of batter with your fingers into the oil or make small round dumplings & drop them in oil.
•  Fry them in small batches for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown & keep turning the bajjis with a strainer ladle while frying otherwise they get discoloured.

 

• Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.
• Serve all purpose flour fritters with tamarind or green chutney.
