ME, the lazy foodie !!

Truly a bowl of delicious health !! I am not really a big fan of bell peppers but I just could not resist trying out roast pepper sauce in my pasta this time. I loved the result.

See these yummy looking fritters ? Ever had these ? These are called GoLi Baje. GoLi means round like a marble and Baje means fritters. These fritters are a speciality of Mangalore.

I add a little more refined wheat flour than her and this makes them softer and fluffier. Lets move on to the recipe now. INGREDIENTS Refined Wheat Flour (Maida) - 2 tbsp Gram Flour (Chickpea flour / Besan) - 1/2 tbsp Sugar - 1 tsp Curd - to mix Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp Ginger (grated / paste) - 1 tsp Green chillies (finely chopped) - 2 to 3 Salt to taste Little water to mix Oil to cook METHOD Mix sugar and curd and keep aside. Let the sugar melt and mix well. Mix the other dry ingredients together along with ginger and green chillies. Add the curd and sugar mixture and mix well with a whisk / fork. I prefer to mix with a fork as it breaks any lumps that get formed.
