Ingredients

1. Besan (Gram Flour)
2. Long Green chilies
3. Ajwain (Carom Seeds)
4. Salt
5. Oil
6. Water

Steps to follow:

• Take long green chillis and slit at the center to get two halves. You can remove the seeds to reduce the spicy aspect but it’s much better with the seeds.
• Now prepare the bajji batter by taking 2 cups of besan, 1 TBSP of carom seeds, and salt (as per taste) in a mixing bowl. Mix all these ingredients making sure everything is combined well.

• Now add water as required slowly, and prepare a lump free thick batter.
• Pour 2 TBSP of hot oil over the batter and mix well for a smooth and silky batter

• Put frying pan with oil for heating.
• Dip the green chilli and coat it with batter completely.

• Deep fry in hot oil.
• Keeping the flame on medium, flip over and fry all the sides. Fry until the bajjis turn crisp and golden.

Note: If you have Baking Soda and Rice flour at home then do put it in the batter. This will make the Chilli bajji crispier and fluffier
