Tips

1. Don’t slice the potatoes thick or else the bajji will not get cooked inside.
2. Adding cooking soda gives soft and fluffy bajji.
3. Also don’t add more soda than mentioned or else bajji absorbs too much oil.
4. You can also add a tsp of ghee to the batter which lends a nice flavour to the Potato Bajji.
