About Banana bajji

Banana Bajji is a popular South Indian snack made by coating slices of raw banana in a spiced chickpea flour batter and deep-frying them to golden perfection. This flavorful dish is rooted in Indian cuisine, often enjoyed as an evening treat or served during festivals. The primary ingredients include raw bananas, chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric, chili powder, and other spices, creating a crisp and savory bite. While raw bananas offer essential nutrients like dietary fiber and potassium, the deep-frying process may make it high in calories and fats, especially if consumed in excess or prepared with lower-quality oil. Moderation is key, and pairing it with healthier accompaniments like a fresh chutney can help balance the indulgence. For a lighter alternative, air-fried versions are gaining popularity, allowing for a healthier twist on this beloved snack without compromising its signature taste.
