ABOUT Badaa Piaji (Twice fried onions fritters from Odisha) RECIPE

These ultra crisp fritters from Cuttack are defined by their signature double frying method.

Ingredients Serving: 4

2/3 cup Bengal gram flour / Besan
2 large onions (finely chopped)
2-3 green chilis (finely chopped)
2 tbsp chopped coriander stems
a few curry leaves
1/4 tsp chili powder
a pinch of turmeric
A pinch of baking soda
Salt to taste
Oil for Deep frying

Instructions

Take all the ingredients (except oil) in a mixing bowl. Add water in small quantities to make a batter which is about the same consistency as a Vada batter.
Heat sufficient oil in a wok. Drop small balls ( about a heaped tablespoon each) of the batter into the hot oil and fry to a light brown shade. Remove and keep aside for about 2-3 minutes.
Flatten the balls with a heavy object (use a rolling pin). Do not make them very thin else they may break. Fry again till brown and crisp.
Serve hot with Ghuguni and some sliced onions. Do not forget to sprinkle a generous amount of black salt.
