Servings2 people
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup besan flour
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 2 medium sized potato
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds powder
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- a pinch orange food color
- oil to deep fry
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse and wash potatoes, pat them dry. Peel off the skin, then slice them using a slicer - Dont make the slices very thick else it will not get cooked inside - Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients except potato and oil.
- Add water and make it to thick paste first without any lumps. Then add water little by little to form a thick batter(like the dosa batter but not too runny).
- Heat oil - Dip each potato slice in the batter, turn to coat well on both the sides.
- Carefully transfer it to the preheated oil. Turn over to cook well on both sides till golden brown. Drain in tissue paper.
- Serve the Aloo bajjis hot with coconut chutney - yum combo!
Notes
- Make sure the batter is not too runny else the batter will not coat well on the veggie.
- Adding baking soda gives fluffiness and soft texture to the bajjis but you can very well skip it too.
