APPLE BHAJJI / FRITTERS

Hi all, Hope you had a wonderful weekend. What do you make when you crave for Bhajji's yet want to eat something healthy at the same time. I had an Apple and unfortunately, my son is not a big fan of it so this is what I came up with to satisfy all of us.

APPLE BHAJJI'S / FRITTERS

APPLE: 1 RED OR GREEN
ALL PURPOSE FLOUR/MAIDA: 1 1/2 CUP
SUGAR: 4 TBSP
SALT: 1/2 TSP
CINNAMON POWDER: 1 TSP
MILK: 1-2 CUP AS REQUIRED
RAISINS: 5 (OPTIONAL)
OIL FOR FRYING


Apple Bhajji/Fritters



MAKING

Peel the outer layer of the Apple and cut them into thin slices. In a bowl, add the Flour/Maida, Sugar, Salt, Cinnamon Powder, Raisins, and mix them well. Add the milk in slowly to make a nice Semi-liquid batter. It should not be too thick or too liquid just like the normal Bhajji batter. Heat oil in a deep frying Pan. Dip in the sliced Apples into the batter and drop it in the oil. Once the outer becomes golden light brown, take it out and place them in a kitchen towel to drain all the excess oil. Delicious Apple Bhajji's or Fritters are ready to eat. It has the delicious outer layer with a wonderful Cinnamon flavor and has the healthy Apple inside, both make a deadly combination. I found that Maple syrup makes an excellent side for it. Enjoy!

TIPS/VARIATIONS

I added fresh Cinnamon powder (grind the cinnamon sticks into a fine powder). It doesn't drink a lot of oil as it cooks fast so take it out at the right time (light brown) or it tends to darken soon. If you want you can add an egg to the batter to make it more fluffy The best part is, once you run out of apples, just drop the batter in the hot oil and take it out when light brown. You get your own version of the Doughnut or Indian vada's. The batter in itself once fried, is delicious. Try it out and let me know
