In this Instructable, I help you make a popular South Indian snack Golibaje or Mangaluru Bajji. It is served hot along with coconut chutney or ketchup. Let's get started!

Step 1: Ingredients

Maida / All purpose flour - 1 cup
Curd - 1/2 cup
Salt - 1/4 tsp.
Baking soda - 1 pinch
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Curry leaves
Corriander leaves
Ginger - 1 inch
Green chilly - 2
Refined oil for deep frying

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

Chop ginger, chilly, curry, and coriander leaves finely
Mix all the ingredients well for about five minutes to form a soft batter. Add additional curd/flour if necessary to maintain consistency.
After this step, cover the batter with cheesecloth and rest it for 2-3 hours for fermentation.

Step 3: Deep Fry

In a frying pan, heat oil at medium flame
Quickly mix the batter once again
By dropping a pinch of batter make sure that the oil is ready to fry
With a spoon or bare hands make small balls of batter and drop them in the oil carefully
Stir occasionally to ensure uniform cooking
Wait until the color turns golden brown and oil bubbles disappear
The Golibajes are now ready!
