Bajji on the beach
Fancy some piping hot molaga bajjis? So hot that the steam rushes out into the darkness of the night the moment you bite into it? Chilli Bajjis bright red in the light of the hurricane lamp; crunchy; the taste of the light smear of masala on the chilli emerging as you reach the fleshy middle; the stem smothered in flour too; deep fried in oil boiling in a huge vat on a kerosene stove; salty, yes, but not from the sea. Molaga bajjis on the beach! Ah!
I had my fill yesterday. :)
Hey Ramya,
Wow. Perfect weather condition for the perfect beach delicacy.And here I am still waiting to have hot bonda and sizzling hot coffee with you. Did you atleast think of me, even if for a second, while having the hot bajjis?

Very nice description. :-'
Here in Pune we get 2 types of veg bhaji
1. khekaDa bhaji (it litterally means scorpion bhaji... it looks like a scorpion... but it is veggie stuff.. has lots of onions)
2. chendu bhaji (it has a shape of small ball.. onion is relatively less copared to type 1)
3. bataTa bhaji (made up of potato)
I think the variety you had will be of type 2

Oooooooooh, I envy you those bajjis Ramya! I'd have to drive atleast an hour to get bajjis and they would in no way be anywhere near as delicious as you described!

Hi Ramya,
Stumbled on your blog from one of my friends. Good that I did . It brought me old memories of Besant nagar beach... bajji garlands dripping with oil are always good to see and eat :-)
