    No, I never add soda. Try it yourself, it tastes great.

    hi shilpa,
    is the mixture same for cauliflower bajji?

  4. Shilpa

    Sowmya, usually coriander leaves are not used for any other bajji. You can use ajwain for added taste.

    am staying in the US. with out adding water, the batter is becoming watery after 10 minutes and they r not coming crunchy and it is sucking a lot of oil. but this never happened in india. why is it so? i tried yello onion and white onion. what is the solution?

    Shilpa: Mahi, I use red onions and never had this problem. Not sure what is wrong..sorry.

    hi there,
    Think the recipe for your bajjis can be improved. The first thing to do is to add salt to the onion and mix it. Leave it for around 10-15minutes. The onion releases lot of water and then the rest of the ingredients can be added to this. Ideally no water is added separately. The water from the onion is adequate to give a paste of a decent consistency for the bajjis

    Anjali is right.no need to add extra water.The onion leaves a lot of water when salt is added to it and kept for a while.in addition to the above ingredients u can add ginger pieces and green chillies chopped finely….hmmm it tastes a lotttt better…

    You can sprinkle little chat masala on the fried bhajjies.
