Mangalore Goli Baje
Mangalore goli baje, pillowy doughnuts of the Udupi breakfast table. Fried gold, built for rainy afternoons and strong chai. Best with green chutney and a rain outside.
Ingredients
- Yogurt2 cups, whisked
- Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
- Saltto taste
- Green Chili2
- Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
- Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
- Curry Leaves2 sprigs
- Asafoetidaa pinch
- All-Purpose Flour2 cups
- Gram Flour1 cup
- Ajwain1/2 tsp
- Rice Flour2 tbsp
Instructions
- 1
Mix the all-purpose flour into a seasoned batter with the yogurt, resting it ten minutes so the flours hydrate.
- 2
Get the oil shimmering but not smoking; steady medium-high is the fritter zone.
- 3
Fry in batches of six or so, nudging them apart; crowding drops the oil temperature and the crunch.
- 4
Cook three to four minutes a side until the sizzle quietens, then drain on a wire rack.
- 5
Eat immediately — a fritter's glory is measured in minutes.
Chef's tip
Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
