Рецепт Vazhakkai bajji / Bajji recipes
Written by: 7aum Suvai
Vazhakkai bajji is a very popular street food in Tamilnadu, which is usually served with chutney and sambar. Vazhakkai bajji wrapped in a banana leaf along with tomato chutney was my evening snack after school. Good old days, I wish I could go back to my childhood again to taste this delicious combo along with hot tea. I served vazhakkai bajji with arachuvitta sambar prepared with homemade arachuvitta sambar powder, coconut chutney and hot tea. Ingredients: Serves 3 to 4 1 no – Raw banana / plantain / vazhakkai 1/2 cup – Besan / gram flour / kadalai maavu 2 to 3 tbsp – Rice flour 1/4 to 1/2 tsp – Red chilli powder (or add as needed) 1/8 tsp – Ajwain / Omam (crushed) 1/8 tsp – Asafoetida / Perungayam 1 pinch – Baking soda Salt and water as needed Oil for deep frying Preparation method: Peel the skin of the raw banana / vazhakkai. Slice them into thin using a knife or a slicer. Keep it immersed in water until use (as shown in the picture). Take a mixing bowl, add besan/gram flour, rice flour, red chilli powder, asafoetida, ajwain, baking soda, and required salt . Add water little by little and mix well with a whisk to a dosa batter consistency. Heat oil in a frying pan, take out raw banana from water, drain the water completely and coat the vazhakkai in a besan flour mix and fry until it is golden brown on both sides. Drain excess oil using a paper towel and serve hot with coconut chutney and any sambar along with hot tea or coffee. Notes The consistency of the bajji batter should not be thick or too watery. The thickness of the vazhakkai can be very thin or slightly thick, but make sure it cooks well inside. Try to cook bajji over medium flame for even cooking. You may increase or decrease the quantity of red chillies as per your spice level.
