Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup refined Flour (maida)
  • 1 cup curd whisked
  • 2 nos green chilies chopped
  • 6-8 nos curry leaves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoon coconut chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger chopped or grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • salt to taste
  • oil for deep frying

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, yogurt, cumin seeds, grated ginger, chopped green chilies, curry leaves, chopped coriander leaves, chopped coconut, chopped or grated ginger, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix well to form a thick batter.
    1 cup refined Flour (maida), 1 cup curd, 2 nos green chilies, 6-8 nos curry leaves, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1/4 cup coriander leaves, 2 tablespoon coconut, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, salt
  2. Gradually add water while whisking to achieve a smooth and lump-free batter. The consistency should be slightly thicker than the pancake batter.
  3. Cover the batter and let it rest for about 2 hours. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the batter to ferment slightly, resulting in a light and airy texture.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, drop small portions of the batter using your hands or a spoon into the oil.

  5. Fry the fritters on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy. Ensure they are cooked evenly on all sides.
  6. Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
  7. Serve Goli Baje with a side of tangy and spicy coconut chutney.
