VAZHAIKKAI BAJJI I MINI PLANTAIN FRITTERS I RAW BANANA BAJJI

Hi friends, today again plantain family recipe. Plantain/raw banana Bajji… Who hates the hot bajji?? No one… J I love bajji much but will have it rarely, suddenly I crave for the bajji and prepared it as mini size. The size impresses me from temple shops here in my place. Its like bite size fritters and would taste too good.

So I wish to replicate the temple shop bajjis and it came out really good taste and crisp. You can make the bajjis with easy ingredients what you having in pantry. I do not use store bought bajji mix as it may contain ajinamoto. So simple, we prepared the batter in our kitchen. I posting the recipe for TST-Tamizhar Samayal Tuesday which is the brainchild of +Nalini aks from Nalini's kitchen.
