Recipe Instructions

Bajis or bajjis are snacks made in South India. (Some North Indian restaurants call them "pakoras", but where bajjis are made from whole pieces of vegetables dipped in batter & then deep-fried, pakoras are made of chopped vegetables mixed with batter & dropped into hot oil by the spoonful.)

Coarsely chop mushrooms. In a bowl, combine flours, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, coriander and salt. Stir in onion, mushrooms and yogurt; mix well.

Half fill a deep-fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat to 375F. (190C.) or until a 1/2" cube of day-old bread browns in 40 seconds. Divide mixture in 10 equal portions.

Drop spoonfuls of mixture into hot oil and fry 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Garnish with parsley sprig, if desired, and serve warm.
