Indian Bajji snack: vegetable/Chicken Nuggets

[seek10]

couple of days ago, I made some chicken nuggets with Besan ( chick pea flour) and grape seed oil using bajji recipe and to my surprise, it came very good. I used baked chicken, though I read that one can do it with out baking. It is pretty simple and you can do this with many of the vegetable. popularly one's in india are with green pepper , potato, onion, egg plant, boiled egg, bread loaf, califlower.

If you are tempted to the french fries or chicken nuggets or fried stuff from the evil chains mcdonald's and Bking, this is a good alternative.

BAJJI VARIETIES
Bajji is the simplest snack we can make to have in the evenings.During winter season we really want something hot in the evening. I had so many varieties of bajji's but for all the batter is same.Bread bajji is the onw which I used to have during my MCA. That was the first time (in hostel) where I had bread bajji. One lady used to bring in the afternoon and evening we have to rush for it. whenever I make bread bajji's I remmeber those plesant memories.Also that Chilli bajji I had for the first time in Kodaikannal when I was in 5th standard.(In my school they took us to kodai kills that time) .

Make Potato bajji, Onion bajji, Brinjal bajji, Cauliflower bajji, Applam bajji, Plaintain bajji/Vallakkai bajji, Bread bajji, Chilli bajji using same batter.

Ingredients for Batter

1. Besan Flour /Kadalamavu - 1 cup

2. salt as need

3. Little appa soda if you have (sodium bicorbonate) and color powder.If you don't have color powder add 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder because the besan which we are getting in US is not giving very good color like Indian Kadalamavu.

Preparation of batter

Mix all the ingredients together well by adding little water so that it will be in idli/dasa batter consistency

Dip each in batter and fry in oil.
