Makes: 12
Ingredients:
- Carom
Leaves – 12
- Gram
Flour – 110gms (1Cup)
- Oil
– 1tsp (To mix with gram flour)
- Salt
– To Taste (3/4tsp)
- Red
Chili Powder – 1tsp
- Baking
Soda – 1/4tsp
- Water
– To Mix the Batter
- Oil

Preparations:
Select
big carom leaves for this recipe. While plucking the leaves retain a portion of
the stem along with the leaf. When the bajjis are fried along with the stem
they appear good. If you observe, the leaves will look thicker and smell great.
Wash the leaves and pat dry them. Heat a pan and add oil for frying the bajjis.
While the oil is getting heated up, prepare the batter. Sift the gram flour
through a fine sieve. To the sifted gram flour add baking soda, red chili
powder and salt. Mix well and add a teaspoon of hot oil to the gram flour
mixture. Mix well by rubbing with fingers so that the oil is evenly coated to
the gram flour. Add water little by little and make a smooth batter without any
lumps. The consistency should be thick then the batter will coat the leaves
when dipped.
Method:
Spread
a paper napkin on a plate. After frying, if we place the bajjis on the paper
napkin, it will soak the excess oil.
When
oil is sufficiently hot, start frying the bajjis. Take a carom leaf and dip it
in the batter. Ensure that batter is coated all over the leaf. Then remove
excess batter that is dripping. Add this batter coated carom leaf to hot oil
and fry. Similarly add few more leaves and fry on medium heat turning the sides
with a ladle. When the bajjis are golden brown in color drain them from oil and
place them on the paper napkin to soak excess oil. Fry the remaining leaves
after dipping them in batter. Fry on medium heat only. When all the bajjis are
fried, serve them hot with a sauce or chutney of your choice.
Points to Remember:
Use
carom leaves which are bigger in size. Use fresh leaves so that they are
firm—not wilted.
For
fluffier bajjis, use baking soda as per the measurements given. One may even
reduce the quantity of baking soda as per choice.
Pluck
the carom leaves along with some portion of the stem. It will be easier to dip
the carom leaf in batter by holding the stem. After the bajjis are fried they
give a nice shape when fried along with the stem.
While
making the batter, take care to add water slowly to get the right consistency.
Mix the batter well avoiding lumps.
While
dropping the batter coated carom leaf in oil—take care—oil will be too hot—if
the oil spills on the skin there will be burns.
Carom
leaves have a distinct smell and gives relief by smelling a leaf when suffering
from stomach disorders.
