Goli Baje is a crispy and fluffy snack made from a batter of maida, curd, and various spices, perfect for rainy evenings, especially when paired with a hot cup of tea.
1: To a large bowl, add the Maida.
2: Add curd and ½ cup of water and mix until there are no lumps.
3: Add the hing, ginger, green chilli, curry leaves, black peppercorn and cumin seeds.
4: Beat for 4-5 minutes using your hands to make the batter fluffy and slightly stretchy.
5: Mix well, and rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
6: Add baking soda and water, and mix to combine.
7: Using wet hands, take small portions (around 1-2 tbsp) of the batter and drop it into hot oil.
8: Deep fry until it turns golden brown and is floating in the oil.
9: Remove from the oil and serve hot with coconut chutney.
