I made this yesterday, so i can share it for my holi recipe post. It is really easy to make and works as a great snack for any parties. It is delicious either with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
A really delicious bajji which is great for your little one. Since it has spinach in them they are little healthy as well. It taste really good and yummy..My 2.5 year old daughter loved it, so guess the taste.

Hi Aarthi, I tried this but it sucked lot of oil. We couldn't have it. I could taste the oil.. and also I fried only when the oil was ready enough to fry. What could be the reason?
Aarthi
the batter should be thick and not thin. also dont add too much baking soda
