Instructions
Making bajji batter
In a mixing bowl, take all the dry ingredients - gram flour, carom seeds, red chili powder, garam masala powder and two pinches of baking soda.
Add the wet ingredients - ½ teaspoon hot oil (from the pan or kadai in which you have kept oil for deep-frying) and water.
Add water in parts and about ⅔ to ¾ cup water or as required to make a medium thick batter.
With a wired whisk or spoon, whip briskly for 1 to 2 minutes to a smooth batter without any lumps.
Making bread bajji
Slice the bread slices in rectangles or triangles.
Dip each slice in the batter and evenly coat it with the batter.
Place the batter coated bread slice in medium hot oil for frying. Also add a few more batter coated slices.
Fry them on medium hot oil turning over a couple of times to ensure even cooking and browning.
Fry until crisp and golden.
Remove with a slotten or perforated spoon and drain as much oil as possible.
Place them on kitchen paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle a bit of chaat masala on them.
Serve these besan bread bajji hot with tomato sauce or cilantro chutney or mint chutney or sweet tamarind chutney.
