When it's tea time and you feel like indulging in some deep fried yummies this little snack is both delicious for that afternoon craving and super quick to make. Loved and famous especially in South India for it's crunchy on the outside and fluffy soft on the inside texture, you won't find many folks that don't want this with their afternoon cuppa!
Well, there are many recipes out there but I have found a perfect little one that works great everytime. From batter to fried and ready in 10 minutes!
Here it is, my version of GOLI BAJE (Spicy Yogurt Fritters/Manglore Bajje):
Ingredients: 1/2 cup self raising flour, 1/2 cup plain flour, 1 tablespoon rice flour, 1/2 cup yogurt (sour is even better), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger, few curry leave chopped finely, few green chillies chopped finely, handful chopped coriander, salt to taste.
Make: In a bowl, take all of the above ingredients and mix well together. Add a bit of water as required to bring the consistency to a thick batter (but not runny). Heat oil in a pan and drop small ball sizes of the batter using a tablespoon. Fry on low flame until golden brown. Ensure low flame so that the inside cooks well while outside is crispy.
Enjoy hot with chutney/sauce and a warm cup of tea/coffee!
