About Bajji

Bajji is a popular Indian snack originating from South Indian cuisine, known for its crispy, savory flavor. It is typically made by dipping slices of vegetables like potato, eggplant, banana, or chili in a seasoned gram flour (besan) batter and deep-frying them until golden brown. The batter often includes spices like turmeric, cumin, or chili powder, adding depth to the taste. While Bajji is widely enjoyed for its satisfying crunch and bold flavors, it is considered indulgent rather than highly nutritious. The deep-frying process increases its fat and calorie content, making it less suitable for regular consumption. However, the use of vegetables as the base offers some vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Occasionally baked or air-fried variations are prepared to make them healthier. Bajji is best consumed as an occasional treat, paired with chutneys or tea.
