Vegetable bajji, colloquially known as Indian Tempura, are just thin slices of vegetables dipped in a crisp batter and deep-fried to golden brown perfection. These Vegetable Bajji: Indian Tempura by Tina Dawson are superbly delicious, easy enough to whip up on a whim and a perfect way to use up leftover pieces of vegetables that are too little to make anything else out of. The batter is a mixture of chickpea flour and rice flour with the optional addition of baking soda, which gives it that amazing crispiness. Traditionally, onion, eggplant, potato, and green bananas are used, but you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand.
