Raw Banana (Vazhakaai) Bajji

Here raining heavily today.and wish to crave some hot crispy and spicy with hot filtercoffee for this rainy evening. There was some raw banana's in the fridge and I decided to make bajji with it. It's a easy snack to make, and right for a rainy day with tea or coffee. Bajji is a simple dish prepared by dipping the sliced vegetable in the batter and deep frying it. For bajji vegetables most commonly such as onion,potato,plantain,eggplant,ridge gourd are cut into thin round discs and are dipped in little spiced chickpea ,rice flour combined batter.Other veggies and greens like cauliflower ,cabbage and spinach are also commonly used.
