I can remember my childhood days when I start making dishes like this..Because when we were little, amma used to make this deep fried snacks before we come from school or college..
She makes it the right time so that when we reach home, we will be welcomed with a heady aroma of this bhajjis...Amma make this bhajji with potato, raw banana, brinjals or onions..My favorite in that is onion bhajji’s..Soon I will post that recipe soon..
This bhajji’s are best had with some hot Indian chai..This taste equally delicious with some masala chai too(recipe soon)...
I hope you all love it and off you go to the step by step recipe with pictures..
