Channa Bhaja
27 April, 2016
This is an all time favorite recipe in our home...we just love this
Whenever I prepare this for a get together party it is all time hit dish...a sweet memory attached to this recipe
When I was expecting some of my collegues visited our home and me and my husband prepared some items but something extra I want to prepare so that it gives extra zing to the party
Then suddenly my husband suggested go for Channa bhaja...your friends definitely like this...but I am in dilemma because its a completely different dish whether my friends like it or not...but my husband assured me
Then finally I prepare this and with my utter surprise they just love this and took the recipe from me...so that they also can prepare
We are so happy...Its a popular Odisha dish if any marriage function in Odisha then you definitely get this item...it is made up of adding different vegetables...

Notes

Generally in Odisha this dish is prepared using different vegetable like parval,french beans,potaotes,brinjal,carrot…but we are licing in Jakarta…here all vegetables not availableÂ

So I have added these…abu siam has similar flavor as little gourd(tondli) so I have added.Â

If you don’t like you can go with only potato,cauliflower also.
-
 If you feel the vegetable mixture is little dry add more water.
- But if you feel the mixture is little watery then add little more rice flour so that it is well coated.
