VAZHAKKAI BHAJJI ( TAVA FRIED)

Rainy season has started and we will be enjoying the hot bhajias with cup of tea when we are at home.  My family members always prefer to have onion bhajias but I also prefer brinjal, potato, banana, chow chow etc.

Today, it was raining heavily and my daughter wants bhajias but she had a sour throat so I do not want to deep fry the items and give her.  Then I remembered my friend Saraswati told me that she makes it on the tava.  I adopted this method and made the bhajias with potato and banana.

You will not get the satisfaction with the tava fried bhhajias as we are used to the deep fried ones. But still for a change, you can adopt this method for a healthy way since it is not deep fried and also no besan is used.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

1 raw banana

1/2 cup rice flour

1 - 2 tsp red chilli powder (according to your requirement, adjust )

 pinch of hing powder

pinch of ajwain
1 tbsp besan (optional)

salt as required.

Method:

1.  Slice the raw banana.  Boil water with little salt.  Put the banana pieces in it and cook for 2-3 minutes till it becomes bit soft.  remove from water and keep it in a strainer to remove the excess water in it.

2.  In a mixing bowl, add the rice flour, chilli powder, hing powder, ajwain, besan, salt etc.  Mix well.  add water to make the bhajia batter.

3.  Heat a non stick tava, drizzle some oil.  dip the banana pieces in the batter and place it on the tava,.  cover and cook.  flip and drizzle some oil very little and again cover and cook.  

NON Fried bhajia is ready.

How to serve:


serve hot with sauce,chutney.
