Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Besan (gram flour)
- 0.25 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 sliced Large potato
- 1 sliced Large aubergine
- 2 sliced Carrots
- 1 sliced Green bell pepper
- 2 sliced Tomatoes
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the besan, rice flour, baking soda, red chili powder, turmeric powder, asafoetida, and salt.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should have a slightly thick, yet flowing consistency.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing them into 5mm thick pieces. Ensure all slices are of similar thickness for even baking.
Dip each vegetable slice into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated. Shake off any excess batter.
Arrange the battered vegetable slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Lightly spray the tops of the battered vegetables with cooking spray to facilitate crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the vegetables over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the bajjis from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve your low-fat bajjis hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
