Instructions
Prepare Batter:
In a mixing bowl add the gram flour and the wheat flour. Add in all dry ingredients red chili powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, coriander seeds, ginger, sugar, salt to taste, asafetida, green chili paste and oil. Then add in chopped fenugreek leaves (methi), and the mashed ripe banana.
Mix all the ingredients together to form soft and smooth thick batter. Use water as required while mixing the batter.
Once the batter is mixed and ready at the desired consistency, keep it aside covered for at least 1 hour or can be made immediately as well. But resting the batter will give better result.
Deep Frying Methi Kela Bhajiya
Heat oil on high heat for deep frying Methi Kela Bhajiya, once oil is hot (not bumbling hot) drop small dollops of the prepared batter into the oil and fry. The oil can now be reduced to a medium. Place about 5-6 small dollops at a time.
Fry the till they puff up and turn golden brown in color. Keep flipping around. Remove onto a plate covered with paper towel to remove the excess oil.
Serve Hot
Notes
For best results mix batter with hands. Heat of the hands helps with the fluffiness of the bhajiyas. If you like you can add more or ripe banana. The more ripe bananas the better it taste.
