Recipe Notes
Fry the bhajia only over medium flame and slowly, otherwise the bhajia will remain uncooked from inside.
My grand mom avoid, baking soda as it’s not good for stomach and digestion process.so l haven’t used baking soda for pakoda which is mostly used.
Instead of soda, you can add 2 tea spoon of hot oil to make it crispy.
