Raw banana bajji or (bajji) is a snack commonly sold at tea stalls across Tamil Nadu during the evening hours.
Preparation In a bowl, combine gram flour (besan), ajwain seeds, cumin seeds, salt, and a pinch of baking soda; add enough water to mix it into a batter—ideally, the consistency should be somewhat thin. Slice the raw plantains into thin pieces. Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a wide pan; once the oil is hot, dip the plantain slices into the prepared batter, drop them into the hot oil, and fry until crispy. These are commonly served with coconut chutney or tomato chutney; they are a popular evening snack enjoyed both at shops and in homes.
Varieties This type of fritter (bajji) can be made using various vegetables—such as chili, onion, potato, and eggplant—as well as many others.
