Ingredients
- 1 cup Gram flour (Besan)
- 0.25 cup Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (Ajwain)
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, carom seeds, asafoetida, and baking soda.
Step 3
Add the finely chopped green chili and coriander leaves to the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
Step 6
Dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, and carefully slide it into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the bajjis in batches without overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Once fried, remove the bajjis with a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Step 9
Serve hot with low sodium chutney or a yogurt dip of your choice.
