Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (maida)
- 1/4 cup Gram Flour (besan)
- 1 tbsp Rice Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 pinch Asafoetida (hing)
Aromatics & Spices
- 1 tsp Ginger grated
- 3 Chilies finely chopped, green
- 10-12 leaves Curry Leaves roughly chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Combine all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, rice flour, yogurt, salt, and enough water in a large bowl to form a thick batter.
First Fermentation
- Cover the batter and let it ferment for 2-4 hours in a warm place. This allows the batter to rise and develop a lighter texture.
Add Aromatics and Spices
- Once fermented, gently stir in the grated ginger, chopped green chilies, curry leaves, baking powder, shredded coconut, and asafoetida. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Fry the Goli Baje
- Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. Wet your hands to prevent the batter from sticking. Take small portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Fry 4-5 Goli Baje at a time.
Golden Brown Perfection
- Fry until the Goli Baje turn a beautiful golden brown color, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the fried Goli Baje and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or ketchup.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Goli Baje
- For extra crispy Goli Baje, add 1 tablespoon of semolina (rava) to the batter.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in oily Goli Baje. Fry in batches.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter; this will prevent the Goli Baje from absorbing too much oil.
