Goli baje is a savoury which has a cripsy exterior and a soft interior which is ideally deep fried in oil but this is an almost oil free version made using appe pan! There are two things that we look forward to during our Mangalore trips – one is Gadbad and the other is piping hot Goli Bajes! They are primarily made of maida and yogurt and have a crispy exterior and a soft center and are usually deep fried in oil but since I am a huge appe pan, I decided not to deep-fry. Not sure how it would turn out, I was surprised to find that they were equally good as their deep fried version! The exterior was not as crispy but considering I used oil only for greasing the appe moulds and it has not been dunked in oil, they turned out pretty awesome! If you don’t have an appe pan and decide to deep fry it, the recipe should stay the same!

So here’s the recipe for Goli Baje for you to enjoy during the monsoon season or whenever you feel like it 🙂
