Raw Banana Bhajji (Vazhaikai Bhajji)

10-12 pieces

Ingredients:

Raw Banana (vazhaika) – 1

Gram Flour – ½ cup

Chilli powder – 1 tbsp

Salt – to taste

Asafoetida – 1 pinch

Baking soda – 1 pinch (optional)

Kesari colour (optional) – 1 pinch

Water – to make batter

Oil – to fry

Preparation of Batter:

1. Take the gram flour in a bowl and add chilli powder, salt, asafoetida, (baking soda, colour – optional).
2. Add water little by little to the flour mixture and mix it well till it becomes like a dosa batter. Keep it aside for 5 mins.

Preparation of Raw Banana Bhajji:

1. Take the raw banana and peel of the skin.  Heat oil enough to deep fry in a frying pan in medium flame.
2. Cut the raw banana in desired shape and dip it in the batter one by one.
3. Dip it well so that the batter gets spread all over it.
4. Once the oil is heated well to fry, take one piece out of the batter and put it in the oil. Keep it in medium flame.
5. Fry for a min then turn it over to the other side and fry for a min.
6. Once it is turned to a golden brown colour, take out and put in a vessel covered with tissues. The tissues will take out the excess oil. Repeat the process for all raw banana pieces.

Enjoy it with sauce or Chutneys……

Additional Info:

The batter is same for all kinds of bhajji. So you can use the leftover batter for other vegetables.
