Clean and devein the prawns.
To this add in the ginger garlic paste, Chilli powder, Turmeric powder and the required Salt.
Mix well and allow it to marinate for 30 mins.
In another mixing bowl add chickpea flour, Chilli powder, Turmeric powder and Salt.
To this add a tbsp of Idli Dosa batter.
Add water little by little and bring it to a idli batter consistency.
Add cooking soda and combine the batter once again.
Meanwhile heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Now dip a prawn in prepared batter.
Let the prawn coat with batter completely.
Drop in hot oil and cook the prawns in a medium flame.
Cook until its golden and cooked fully and remove from hot oil. Drain in paper towels to remove the excess oil and then serve hot.

Always cook bajji in medium flame. Cooking in high flame will cook the outer batter quick and the prawn may remain un cooked.

I usually cook in medium flame at first and then medium high flame towards the end.

Adding idli dosa batter helps in giving a crispy texture to the bajji. So i recommend adding them.

Prawn bajji tastes good by itself. We can also serve with some tomato ketchup on side. Makes a perfect evening snack with some hot tea.

Bajji tastes good only when served hot. so do not recomm
