After the celebration this Months North teams Host is My fav chef in blogging world +Priya Suresh  of “Priya’s versatile recipes “. She had challenged a very very deliicous and esy to make tea time snack which was very very delicious. I have heard a friend tryin maida bhaji but this was the first time I tried it . They are so simple to make and I loved it a lot . Thanks to priya aks for sharing this delicious recipe .

The weather so pleasant and what better than a bowl full of hot bhajji’s to munch . These Goli baje are a famous mangalorean dish which can be served as a tea time snack.As we do medu vada in tamil nadu this similar to that bhaji but there is no soaking or grinding needed. A very simple and easy to make deep fried snack which is so delicious and a wonderful snack to munch in a rainy day.Lets Move on to the recipe.
  

Ingredients

1 cup All purpose flour/Maida
1/4 cup Gram flour/Besan/Chickpeas flour
1/2 cup Curd
1/4 cup Water
Few coriander leaves (chopped)
2 tbsp Coconut pieces 
2 tbsp Chopped Onion
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
2 nos Green Chillies (finely chopped)
1/4 tsp Sugar ( Optional)
1/4 tsp Baking soda
Salt  to taste
Oil for frying

Method

•  In a bowl take both the flours, add the curd, baking soda,salt and slowly whisk to form a thick paste.
• Add water slowly and make a batter, batter should not be too thick or too runny.
• If you are  able to see the batter fall slowly from the ladle , your batter is prefect. It  should be like a medu vada batter .
• Cover it  and  keep it in a warm place overnight or keep it in a warm place for 1 hour.
• Now add the chopped onion ,coriander leaves, ginger garlic paste, chopped green chillies,cumin seeds and mix well.
• Now add the coconut pieces (don’t use grated coconut or dessicated coconut), mix well.
• Heat oil for deep frying the goli baje, drop a tsp or if you like big bhajji you can add 1 tbsp  of batter to the hot oil,continue the same process. Don’t overcrowd fry them in batches..
• Fry on both sides until the bajjis turns golden brown.

• Serve hot with coconut chutney or ketchup.
