My aunty used to prepare wonderful mangalore bajjis for us during our holidays at grandmom's place. I had a friend over for lunch the other day and she requested some konkani cuisine. So I decided to make this bajji for her.
You will need:
1 cup urad dal
2 tbsp fresh coconut/ frozen coconut
1/4 cup finely chopped ginger
2 green chillies finely chopped
salt to taste
Method:
Soak urad dal in water for about 2 hours and grind it into a paste with as little water as possible.
To this paste add chopped green chillis, coconut, ginger and salt and mix well.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Using a spoon drop small amounts of the flour misture into hot oil. Fry it till it turns golden yellow and drop it on to a tissue paper to soak extra oil.
Biscuit ambado is ready to be relished. It goes well with ginger chutney.
Ginger chutney:
1/2 inch fresh ginger chunk
1/2 tbsp tamarind paste
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup grated coconut
salt to taste
Grind all the incredients in a blender.
