Aratikaya Bajji ~ Raw Plantain Fritters

aratikaya-bajji1
Pulihora, Aratikaya bajji and Coconut chutney

Bajjis, gold colored, savory, crowd pleasing treats that bring life to a special occasion. During my growing years, you could find me sitting on the beach wall (Vizag is blessed with a beautiful coastline) with family or friends relishing murri mixture and raw plantain bajjis stuffed with raw onions and lemon juice. :)

For Ugadi, we prepared aratikaya bajjis which make a great side with pulihora. Here goes the recipe.

Aratikaya Bajji Recipe

    Hi Sailu,

    I was amazed on how you got that rectangular shape and with a soft texture at the edges.

    Even I do in the same way. But I make round slices out of raw bananas and used to have with tomato ketchup.

    Wow.. artikaya bajjilu and vizag beach! Nostalgic!!
    I make them often but the raw onion taste of the ones given by the muri mixture guy is very different to what we make at home! is it just raw onions and lime juice or something else?
    lovely posts by the way. Belated Ugadi wishes.
    Cheers
    JOSH

    I guess a dash of masala chilli pwd gives it a unique flavor, Josh.

    the whole banana leaf is filled with yummmmm feast; i love these bajjis ( we call it vazhakka bhajji); we buy them (there’s a special taste in those from the roadside vendors :) in the evenings when we go to India, by 6.30 these bhajjis get over leaving behind the other varieties of bhajjis :) love them!

    Heyy Sailu!
    Aritikayi Bajji luks mouthwaterin! reminds me of RK beach bajjis in Vizag.

    My mother’s family is also from Vizag, and on our visits to our Vizag I am always envious of the fact that my mom can indulge in the foods sold along the beach walls while I (born and brought up in the US, and therefore extremely susceptible to illness in India) cannot. Thanks for the recipe! Just looking at the picture makes my mouth water~
