Valakkai Bajji

I made Valakkai Bajji and Shrimp Bajji just this evening and posting it righaway with no delays. I had no plans to do it for the evening, when my husband came back from work , he asked for something to munch on. when i asked if you are okie with Bajii i can make it. With out even thinking for a second he said yes...
This recipe is again from one of my close friend Priya. She made some time back, trust me without any baking soda it turned fluffy and crunchy! Now to the recipe...

Ingredients:

Gram flour / Kadalai maavu - 3/4 cup
Rice flour - 1/4 cup
Wheat flour - 1/4 cup
Red chilly powder - 1.5 tsp
Sombu powder/ fennel seeds powder - 1/2 tsp
salt - 1 tsp or to taste
Garlic - 5 flakes
water - 1 and 1/4 cup
raw banana/ valakkai - 2

Method:


Mix all the dry ingredients well ( Gram flour, rice flour, wheat flour. red chilly powder, sombu powder and salt).
finely grate the garlic  and it to the mixture.
slowly add the water and mix with the wisk to avoid lumps.

The batter has to be little thick.
peel the skin of the raw banana and slice them thin and soak them in water.
Heat oil in a pan, when it is hot. Dip the raw banana in to the water and make sure the batter is coated on all sides. Immediately drop them in the oil and fry until they turn golden brown on all sides.

Drain the excess oil with Kitchen towel.


Serve hot with Ketchup or chutney!

I'm sure you would say 'wow, yummy', after the first bite :)
