Mangalore bajji or Gole baji

Gole baji is a popular mangalore snack which is made using maida as the key ingredient. My husband being from Karnataka border is fond of all the yummy snacks from there. Recently we visited a friend's home and we had this snack there. He loved it so much that he always asks me to google for the recipe and make it for him :) And I am always IN for such deep fried junk food!!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 Cup Maida
1/2 cup Curd
Few finely chopped chunks of ginger,
Chillies
& Coriander leaves
1/2 medium sized Onion (Optional)
a pinch of baking soda
Salt as required
Oil (required for deep fry)

Steps:

1. Mix maida, salt,curd, baking soda in a large bowl.
2. Add all the chopped vegetables to it.
3. Keep it aside for 20 mins.
(If you are in a hurry, skip this step)
4. Heat oil in a pan for sometime, make small roundles of batter and drop them in oil.
5. Wait till it gets golden color and put them on a napkin to get rid of excess oil.

                                       Serve them hot with green chutney!
