Easy Baja Recipe | Recette Bajia Facile | Plain Besan Pakora
Baja is a popular street food easy to make by frying a batter consisting of simple ingredients, usually enjoyed hot with chutney or hot sauce.
???????????? RECIPE BELOW ????????????????
Ingredients:
1 Cup Gram Flour (Besan)
1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour (Note 6 if you are using self rising flour)
1 1/2 TSP Baking Powder (Note 1)
1 Small Onion (Optional)
1 TBSP Spring Onion (finely chopped)
2 TBSP Coriander Leaves (finely chopped)
1 Green Chilli (Optional)
3/4 Cup to 1 Cup Water or lesser (Note 3)
Salt to taste
Tomato and Coriander Chutney
1-2 Tomatoes ( Can also add more tomatoes)
1 Garlic Clove
1 Chilli
Coriander Leaves
Salt to taste
Note:
1. You can also use Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) instead of Baking Powder. The quantity will be lesser. Instead of 1 1/2 TSP Baking Powder use 1/4 TSP baking soda.
2. Why we sift the flour? Sifting the flour is optional. Doing so helps to distribute the dry ingredients and also to remove lumps.
3. Water might vary a little bit. Will be 3/4 to 1 Cup water or lesser depending on how you measure the flour. The batter should not be watery. Should be a semi thick consistency.
4. Mix the batter well, so that it you incorporate air in it. The bubbles in the batter and hot oil will make the bajia puff.
5. The oil should be on medium heat. Drop a little of the batter in the oil to test if the oil is hot. If the batter rise immediately, this means the oil is hot enough. Controlling the heat of the oil, while frying the bajia. If oil is too hot the bajia will turn brown fast and if not hot enough the bajia will not puff and will absorb lots of oil.
6. Can i use Self rising flour instead of all purpose flour? Yes, you can.
1 Cup of self rising flour
1/2 Cup gram flour (Besan)
1 Small Onion (Optional)
1 TBSP Spring Onion (finely chopped)
2 TBSP Coriander Leaves (finely chopped)
3/4 Cup to 1 Cup Water
Salt to taste.
7. Serve the bajia with hot cardamom tea.

GATEAUX PIMENTS
If you're a fan of falafel, then you're going to love these Mauritian dhal fritters. Known as gateaux piments, these lentil-filled fried balls are packed with the flavours of tangy spring onion, fresh coriander and fiery green.
Usually sold on the side of the road in Mauritius, they are perfect by themselves or stuffed generously in a fresh baguette.
Ingredients:
250g of yellow split peas
5-6 spring onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup coriander, finely chopped
1/2 onion
2 green chillies, finely chopped (optional)
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp jeera (cumin) powder
oil, for deep frying
Method:
Place the yellow split peas in a large bowl and pour cold water over it. Leave to soak overnight
The peas should have puffed up slightly and the water reduced by the next morning. Drain them well and tip into a food processor. Blitz until the peas are a coarse paste and clump together.
Place the crushed peas into a large mixing bowl and add all the other ingredients apart from the oil. Combine well with a spoon
Take a teaspoon of the mixture in your hands and, pressing firmly, form into a ball shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture and place them all on a plate ready to be fried
Pour the vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-based wok. You can tell when the oil is the right temperature by dropping a tiny ball of mixture into the oil. If floats to the top and browns evenly then it is ready. When the oil is hot enough, carefully drop the balls in a few at a time.
The fritters should sizzle in the oil. Using a fork or a slotted spoon gently move them around so they colour evenly. It will take a couple of minutes until they are golden brown and cooked throughout. If they brown too quickly, reduce the heat slightly to make sure they cook inside
Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot!!
