Karpooravalli Bajji / Indian Borage Fritter

Happy to share this healthy bajji recipe!  Karpooravalli/ Indian borage plant is found in almost every South Indian's garden! It has amazing health benefits and medicinal uses. Karpooravalli is one home remedy that we resort to first when we get a cold and cough.

You can clean the leafs and eat it raw. But for those who want to try something new or for those who do not like the pungent flavour of the leaf, can try this bajji recipe. This will serve as a healthy snack. Happy cooking! Cheers!



Ingredients:

Karpooravalli leafs - 10- 12
Kadalai maavu / Gram flour - 1/2 cup
Rice flour - 1tbsp
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Hing - 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Method:

1.Wash the leafs twice and dry it completely.

2.Mix all the other ingredients mentioned, except oil.

3.Pour needed water and make a medium thick batter. Heat oil for deep frying

4.Dip the leafs in the batter and fry to golden brown colour

5. Serve hot

Note:

1. Dry the leafs in a news paper or cloth. If the leafs are not completely dry the bajji will be too much oily
2. I have used the chilli powder made at home, it has both red chilli and coriander in it. If you are using plain red chilli powder, add coriander powder accordingly.
