Banana bajji recipe |Vazhakkai bajji | balekai bajji preparation with step by step photos and a quick video. Banana Bajji | vazhakkai bajji is one of the most famous evening snacks in the southern part of India. In the monsoon season, people prefer to have these kinds of fried snacks along with the Tea or Coffee. This is a hotel-style variant of Banana Bajji | vazhakkai bajji. In this recipe, I have used just besan flour along with rice and toor dal batter. Rice batter helps to attain crispiness. The leftover batter can be used for preparing aloo or onions bajji. Do not deep fry these fritters in a low or high flame. Keep in medium flame to get the crispy banana bajji | vazhakkai bajji |aratikaya bajji. Serve it with coconut chutney to enjoy evening time.
