Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chickpea flour (besan)
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 250 milliliters Water
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 1 medium Eggplant
- 250 grams Cauliflower
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds. Slice the onion into round rings. Cut the eggplant into round slices. Break the cauliflower into small florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, baking soda, turmeric powder, red chili powder, carom seeds, and salt.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously to form a smooth and thick batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface quickly.
Dip each vegetable slice individually into the prepared batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Carefully place the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the bajjis until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to achieve an even color.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried bajjis from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the soy-free bajjis hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
