Coriander and Mint Chutney with Bajji
Bajji or Pakora is one of the famous snack in India. I love the Bajjis from the road side shops and I never miss it when I come across one. This time, when I went to India, I came across a Bajji shop in Adayar outside “Life Style”. They sell awesome bajjis, vada, samosa, poli, etc. It was lovely. I went there almost everyday. In my hometown, during the “Car Festival” there will alot of shops selling these bajjis. But there is one particular shop which has chilly bajji with a special chutney. I am sure people just go there for this yummy chutney. This time when I went there, I just went to the shop keeper and asked him for the recipe of the chutney. I think that was my day that I got the recipe and I am here sharing it with you. Here you go…
