Vazhakkai Bajji Recipe| Raw Banana Bajji | How to make Bajji recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Vazhakkai Bajji is crispy fritters made using Besan, corn/rice flour with spices and raw banana. Raw banana is known as vazhakkai in tamil. It is one of the popular snack which you can find in any south indian tea stalls or road side shops. We always carve for these bajji during rainy days with hot cup of Coffee/Tea. Prepare and enjoy these easy and yummy fritters during monsoon season. 

Many of them use ready made bajji bonda mix to prepare bajji. But preparing from scratch is so easy and it takes less than 15 minutes to prepare this batter when you have besan and corn flour/rice flour ready. Batter is very universal and we can use it to prepare any variety of bajji or bonda.

Notes

Many don't use ginger garlic paste. But my mom always uses them while making bajji and we like it. You can skip it

Baking soda gives soft, fluffy bajji

If the batter is too thin it will not coat the bajji and if it is too thick bajji will be hard. So adjust accordingly. if your batter becomes thin, you can add little besan flour and adjust.

You can use only rice flour or corn flour or mix of both
