Mangalore Goli Baje Recipe

For this week’s second post on the theme Indian States, I selected a savoury deep fried snack from Mangalore. Popularly known as goli baje or mangalore bajji, this has maida as the star ingredient. I went through so many recipes. Some had only maida, some had rice flour, some had besan and I couldn’t decide which one to follow. Then I selected a recipe which had only maida. If you want crispier bajes, add 1/4 cup of rice flour along with the given ingredients. These baje batter is mixed with curd to give more softness to the bajes.

As I used only maida, the bajes were so soft. Serve it with a chutney of your choice and you will be so happy. You can even add onions if you like the flavour. Next time I will be adding onions and rice flour to make it crispier. The original recipe asked for 4 hours of fermentation but I rested the batter for 1 hour. But still I could taste the sourness of curd. So if you are making this on a hot day, rest the batter for 30 minutes to an hour. But if the weather is chilly, then go for 3-4 hours.
