"Karathe’ ani Tarni Mirsange Bajo (Bajia/Pakoda)/Bitter Gourd and Green Chilly Fritters" served with Limbiya Sherbath /Lime Juice ... there was excess batter from yesterdays capsicum bajos, so prepared a few of these spicy Bajias and gulped off some lime juice to balance the spiciness of the chillies .... Uuufff .... kanantule duvoru aailo … Yummilicious ....
** The cold winter always makes one crave for deep fried snacks and when you have them for mid morning break then you can have it in between sips of lemon juice as there is a warmth in the air when you sit out near your window or in the balcony. As for evening time breaks, during winter or monsoon snacks are best had with hot beverages. I had some batter left over from previous day when I had prepared capsicum bajos for lunch which I had kept in the fridge to be used later on. Food is never to be wasted, in the first place prepare only that much how much is necessary and in case of leftovers either dispose it off giving it to some needy or recycle it into a new dish. Bajo batters sometimes gets leftover and nothing else can be done out of it. My usually way to finish it off is add on thin sliced onions mix them well, add in some raw coriander seeds and a dash of rice flour and mix well to a coarse mixture sort of dropping consistency where in the onions gets coated with the batter evenly. Drop them into the hot oil in small bunches and deep fry the same till crisp, these taste wonderful.
** As I was all prepared to slice the onion, hubby caught me up on it and asked me instead to prepare a few green chilly bajos for him as he is very fond of that spicy Bajos. Well, spicy chilly bajo are not to my liking as I cannot tolerate the heat level in it, It really intrigues me as to how someone enjoys eating them with tears rolling down cheeks and smoke getting out of the ears. Ufff… definitely not my style, I just cannot have them, so I prepared a few bitter gourd bajos for me and then on forethought prepared simple lime juice with freshly squeezed lime, sugar and water and added on some homemade saffron cardamom syrup to it. I usually prepare this syrup and keep it fridge as it lasts for months, addition of the same to simple lime juice not only makes it aromatic but also gives on a wonderful pleasing color which everybody loves.
