Goli Bajje / Mangalore Bajji

Coming to week of blogging marathon, I am going to be making evening snacks for the next three days. This Goli Bajje recipe was suggested by Priya Suresh for South North Challenge. She had challenged the North Team with this delicious fried snack. Even though I belong to the same team as priya, as soon as I saw her post this recipe I could not resist making this.

This Mangalore Bajji recipe is so easy to make and is a perfect snack for the cold evenings. We finished the whole plate as soon as I made this. I served this with some coconut chutney even though this really does not need anything on the side. The batter does need a little bit of fermenting time, so plan it accordingly. I made the batter in the morning and it was perfect to fry in the evening.

Preparation time – 10 mins plus overnight or about 8 hrs to ferment the batter
Cooking time – 20 mins
Difficulty level – easy


Fluffy Mangalore Bajji

Ingredients to make Goli Bajje - makes around 20 -24 medium size bajji

  • Besan / kadalai maavu/ chick pea flour – ¼ cup
  • Yogurt – ½ cup
  • Coconut pieces – 3 tablespoon (I used grated coconut)
  • Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
  • Ginger – 1 teaspoon (finely grated)
  • Green chilies – 2 (finely chopped)
  • Sugar – ¼ tsp
  • Baking Soda – ¼ tsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – to deep fry

Procedure –

Batter for goli bajje
  • Cover the batter and leave it to ferment overnight or about 8 hrs. If your yogurt is sour, the fermentation would take lesser time. In my case I had to leave it outside for about 8 hrs.
  • Now add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and when the oil is hot enough add a tablespoon full of batter into the oil.
